AUSTIN — Gov. Rick Perry’s moon-launch challenge to the Legislature — to create a $10,000 bachelor’s degree — is not only unrealistic given the cost of college, higher education experts say, but likely budget cuts could mean a degree is further out of reach for thousands more Texans. And some were bluntly dismissive of Perry’s notion that innovation and the Internet can dramatically reduce the cost. Even if it could be done, they said, such a cheap degree wouldn’t be worth the virtual paper it is written on.
