A MOOC-offered course in microeconomics offered through Coursera by
UCIrvine blew up over the weekend, with the lead faculty member
leaving in mid-course.  Many issues, but the CHE article:

(http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/professor-leaves-a-mooc-in-mid-course-in-dispute-over
teaching/42381)

has this interesting report:

"The professor apparently had faced criticism from students who
objected to his decision to assign a textbook that was not available
free."
