I'm just saying that if a school charging less than $300 can get successful business professionals in to give live classes on a regular basis, surely schools in the U.S. charging $60,000 and more should be able to do it, too.
True, I agree with you really. But I also recall other types of speakers visiting during classes, like professional archaeologists in Anthro courses, plus some authors and the like scattered around. I just remember that most speakers who arrived on campus were hosting sessions in places like the auditorium, if they weren't just teaching entire courses of their own throughout the whole semester.
Maybe unis feel that including too many visiting speakers in-class would detract from scaffolding their program upward for students, or believe that any speaking fees are best applied in larger venues to get their money's worth? Not sure, but it's a good point that there could be more representation of actual professional practitioners in classes.
