       Ask HN: Are universities closing down open access to lectures and
       course notes?
        
       7 years ago or so it seemed like you could find invaluable learning
       for free by just looking up free university lectures or course
       notes at any arbitrary school. Today when I try look it up they
       almost universally seem closed down behind password protection (as
       if coordinated by higher order). I haven't heard people talk about
       this, am I the only one noticing this pattern?
