Minnesota that state you never hear about, finally makes the news.. Well probably not as you likely wont read this on Fox News or CNN..

Seems with the up-rise of online education Minnesota has decided that it's illegal for sites like the start up Coursera to offer up education for free. It's not that Coursera is offering a sub par product and it's teachers are not up to par, not when they are offering courses from well known universities such as Stanford, Columbia, Michigan, the University of Melbourne as well as 30 other universities from around the country.

Nope it's not about who or what they are teaching, but because they don't pay the state a fee in order to teach classes for free on the internet.
