CNBC:

There are over 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States, but Harvard Business School professor Clayton Christensen says that half are bound for bankruptcy in the next few decades.

Christensen is known for coining the theory of disruptive innovation in his 1997 book, "The Innovator's Dilemma." Since then, he has applied his theory of disruption to a wide range of industries, including education.

In his recent book, "The Innovative University," Christensen and co-author Henry Eyring analyze the future of traditional universities, and conclude that online education will become a more cost-effective way for students to receive an education, effectively undermining the business models of traditional institutions and running them out of business.

What percentage of their graduates will be bankrupt?

    As a result, you have foreign grad students who don't speak English...

    Not their fault at all.
    Proof: would the other students speak mandarin fluently, the grad student will show high teaching proficiency.
    Ergo: the blame stays with the University, why does it accept barbaric students and impose teaching in such a mess of a language as English?
