The Global Campus

Less than a year after its launch, the University of Illinois Global Campus is going to be restructured. Here are some question the group hopes to answer as part of this restructuring process:

• So what will the formal structure of the fourth campus look like?
• What academic review procedures will be in place to maintain quality?
• How can the university handle faculty who work or consult with Global Campus while also receiving a paycheck from their home campus in Urbana, Chicago or Springfield?

The powers that be didn't think about these things from the beginning??? Yikes! Wonder what the current student cohort thinks?

UPDATE 9/30/08: On Tuesday, Inside Higher Ed published an article about the spinoff of the Global Campus. Check out the interesting discussion that follows.
