I think that the powers that be think that it depends on the individual. There are plenty of "brick and mortar" so called students that use college as a 4 year extention of their high school childhood to party hardy and play hackey sack in the quad in between binge drinking-vomiting-repeat episodes while getting worthless degrees in feelings and statism, all on daddy or the government's money.
Meanwhile *some* online students are working one or more full time jobs maybe even while raising a family and giving back to their community in some way, while earning a far tougher and more useful degree, and paying for it themselves.
If you had to choose between those two hypotheticals, all other things being equal, which would you pick to hire?
