College is currently in a huge state of flux. Advertised costs are rising far faster than inflation

They have been rising exponentially at about 6% for 60 years. I don't think it's fair to call that a "state of flux" or a sudden realization.

The state of flux is MOOCs being new, so much cheaper, and the cost disparity getting constantly larger.

If you're really talking about MOOCs and price is a minor adjunct to that, you should mention MOOCs first.

Reasonable. I like presenting it as "we have X trend which was becoming increasingly unsustainable and is now being challenged by Y trend" but if people are finding it confusing I should edit. Is it confusing to other people?
