University to Realign Global Campus Administrative Units -University of Arkansas

University of Arkansas Provost Sharon L. Gaber on Thursday announced an administrative realignment that will result in a greater campus emphasis on distance, online and continuing education programs and related services. The actions involve Global Campus, a campus division that provides distance and continuing education along with audio and video production and support services and conference planning. Those latter functions will be reassigned to other existing campus units. “Given the university’s teaching, research and outreach missions, we must always look for the most effective ways to serve the educational needs of our students and our state,” Gaber explained. “Distance education and continuing education programs are growing rapidly as an attractive option for learners. This is especially true for those individuals whose family, employment or economic circumstances make it difficult to attend classes in Fayetteville.
