WITH much of US higher education online only this semester, and its more long-term future deeply uncertain, now is a time to dream big. In my fantasy, the schools that are open to expanding their India operations will rise considerably in reputation. In my fantasy, some Indian institutions of higher education will improve and force some competitors – shall we say UC Berkeley? And maybe some of the keenest and most ambitious American students will prefer to study in India rather than in America. An Indian expansion could be the best thing to happen to American and British higher education in this century.
