Dave, you get paid? What a novel concept. Here we work out of the goodness of our hearts.
Sometimes it seems that anything short of outright closure would be worth trying. This paragraph is a little daunting, though:
Yes, the University of Phoenix has many drawbacks. It has little concern for academic freedom. Tenure is nonexistent. Its ability to adapt courses to the latest findings in scholarship is frequently missing. It lacks transparency and resists any meaningful regulatory oversight. It would likely increase student indebtedness.
Since I'm hoping to get tenure the thought of suddenly losing it isn't appealing. And how would "teacher success" be measured? Would there be standardized tests the students would have to pass or the teacher gets the ax?

Interesting. Some faculty here have speculated during difficult economic times of moving in the opposite direction--from private to public.
Well, back to grading. It's the part of the job I get paid to do.

That said I can think of some people with tenure that I wouldn't be sorry to see go under a new regime.
Most importantly, if privatized, would CSU then be able to field a football team as good as USC's?
