Why should they? It's a hassle getting to campus for some students, if they have a job or don't have transportation - or if they are an invalid. Most core courses at college don't even need a live teacher - you just read a textbook and then take an exam anyway. Who needs to listen to a teacher yak?
So, why would anyone need to see the teacher's face or listen to them read out loud from the text book you just read the night before? Go figure. Besides, with modern software like Blackboard Learn, Course Compass or Canvas, students can use distance learning and take exams online while they are at home in their PJs. Don't forget the scene in Teachers with Nick Nolte, where one of the professor is sitting at his desk during class reading the newspaper - then the next day he's still sitting there - dead for 24 hours. LoL!
