= The ideal university
{tag=Cirism}

This is a version of <free gifted education> but more focused on <university>.

This is <Ciro Santilli>'s ideal university system. It is a system that actually lives up to the name "<Open University>":
* no enrolment, no prerequisites. <Exam as a service> examination style, likely free to anyone who wants to take them, only to determine:
  * who gets to use physical facilities, notably <laboratories>
  * which students do you want to pick as apprentices/workers/<PhDs>
* no tuition fees: <free gifted education>
* <school must offer free accommodation for students>
* <force teachers to publish their teaching material with an open license>
* <how to teach>

  Apparently Leeds based. Focused only on student fees seemingly, not how to solve it with tech/efficiency:

So far as of the early 2020's, the university that comes closest to some but not all of these principles is the <University of the People>. It's sad that it's such a crappy unknown thing, but it is what it is.
