Ending early decision and lowering annual price tags? That is so last week! Arizona State University President Michael Crow has a new idea for how to make college more accessible: light rails. Crow wants to connect his school's four campuses with Jetsons-style transportation technology. And then he wants to connect the world, the Web Devil reports.

"My hope would be that public light-rail infrastructure will ultimately, over time, be connecting all of our educational institutions," he told the paper. "That will break down yet another barrier to access to those institutions."
