I'd be more worried about MOOCs as a teaching-led institution than a research-led institution.
"Learn from the best people in your field" is just as good a pitch with MOOCs as without. But it becomes much harder to see what justifies the fees at a mostly teaching (or mediocre research) university unless the quality of tuition is excellent.
