European universities stuggle with ‘Americanization’

From CNN: Euro­pean uni­ver­si­ties are fac­ing increased com­pet­i­tive pres­sure to help stu­dents fin­ish their degree pro­grams quickly and find mean­ing­ful employ­ment after grad­u­a­tion. In Ger­many, some uni­ver­si­ties are charg­ing tuition. French uni­ver­si­ties are using selec­tive admis­sion poli­cies. Greece may allow pri­vate uni­ver­si­ties into the country.

Will the Uni­ver­sity of Phoenix expand its Euro­pean pres­ence? Will Euro­pean employ­ers allow more employ­ees to earn degrees online or in cor­po­rate classrooms?
