The main premise of this article is that "Education experts told Protocol that the programs have limited value in helping people actually earn degrees they can use." By 'experts' the author means people working at think tanks like the Century Foundation or the New America Foundation. The actual argument is that the value of the program is limited by federal tax rules in the U.S., the lack of time needed to complete full degree programs, and limitations on schools and programs allowed. None of this is surprising in a private-sector learning initiative. But surely something is better than nothing here, right?
