New University of Arkansas System President Don Bobbitt promised a proactive administration on Tuesday, telling Little Rock Rotarians that the traditional agrarian calendar, lecture system and tuition models used by most institutions of higher learning are out of date. Bobbitt said technology may provide a vehicle to solve some of the problems facing higher education today. In America, one of those problems is educating the workforce, he said, and making higher education more available online could help.
