Bureaucracy is the real threat to universities not online competition. University's need to maintain a solid reputation, but faking the reputation game has become so common that most University's are ridiculously inefficient.
Consider, Why would you care if your English professor published anything? With that said, a lot of waste seems really important to the people designing budgets so they have issues dealing with leaner institutions.
I'd want a professor who has some experience in the broad subject area beyond simply teaching it. Whether that is industry experience or publishing papers.
