I would say the research university is getting comeuppance.

Pedagogy is the primary purpose of educational institutions. That includes universities. However, when research is placed first, you are often left with mediocre teachers, because "who cares?" They were hired to do research and lend the university that kind of prestige; teaching is an afterthought squeezed into the spaces that remain.

And frankly, we haven't the faintest clue today what education is even for. That doesn't bode well.

Add to this the other troubles facing the university, like declining attendance, skyrocketing costs, and AI cheating and we're in for a very interesting transition indeed.
