The University of Kansas' online alcohol class sounds straight from the pages of the University of Phoenix's course catalog.

A couple of students drank themselves to death in the spring. So KU announced today that all students younger than 22 are now required to take a two-hour "interactive, online course about the effects of alcohol ... on the body and behavior." I smell a morality tale.

Slacker Jayhawks better finish the course by November 2 if they want to enroll in the spring semester.

Coming soon: online degrees in accounting, criminal justice, medical transcription ...
