SOU plans to become financially independent - John Darling, Southern Oregon Mail Tribune
Southern Oregon University President Mary Cullinan tells faculty, staff it's time for the university to go off the grid and start earning its own money. With a new provost and vice president for development on board and the addition of a director of distance learning, SOU will devote the coming year to refining a Master Academic Plan, Cullinan said.... Director of Distance Learning Jennifer McVay-Dyche said the traditional population of students 18 to 21 years old is no longer SOU's main target. Half the university's students are adults, allowing the school to expand in new directions. "The hybrid model has become the best of both worlds," said McVay-Dyche, noting that classes with a big online component also allow a university to have less real estate and buildings for "seat time," as well as being able to bring in a larger number of enrolled students.
