Link between Low Broadband Access and Lower Degree Achievement Noted in Florida - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

A lack of widely available broadband is correlated to a smaller percentage of residents with college degrees or certificates. That's the suggestion of a presentation made recently in Florida to the Higher Education Coordinating Council. The gap will hold back the state from achieving its goal of having 55 percent of its working-age population obtain a degree or professional certificate by 2025, according to Ed Moore, president of Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida. Moore's organization has 30 non-profit institutions that deliver undergraduate, graduate, first-time professional and continuing education programs throughout the state, many of which are online. https://campustechnology.com/articles/2017/09/15/link-between-low-broadband-access-and-lower-degree-achievement-noted-in-florida.aspx
