Defeat for For-Profit Model - Scott Jaschik, Inside Higher Ed
The University of Illinois has been pushing for months to create a new campus dramatically different from the existing ones at Urbana-Champaign, Chicago and Springfield. The new campus would be entirely online, and staffed almost entirely by adjuncts who would not report to regular academic departments.... On Wednesday evening, administrators and faculty leaders sent an e-mail to the campuses announcing that the effort would be renamed the Global Campus Partnership to reflect their agreement that every new online program would have a partnership with an existing academic department. And while the e-mail message did not say so explicitly, faculty and administrative leaders confirmed that the new entity would be nonprofit, would not seek its own accreditation, and would be under the academic control of the faculty. Courses will be designed and supervised by faculty members in existing academic departments.
