Trustees OK new unit for system-wide online education - Purdue University

The Purdue University Board of Trustees voted Dec. 7 to establish Purdue Online, a new organizational unit that will systematically develop a coordinated, unified system-wide portfolio of online course and degree offerings for students of all types. “The launch of Purdue University Global provided a transformational opportunity to re-examine at a fundamental level how Purdue delivers online education to all of its students, both residential and non-residential,” said Gerry McCartney, executive vice president for Purdue Online. “The creation of Purdue Online is a tremendous giant leap forward for the university in fulfilling our land-grant mission in the modern era.” https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2018/Q4/trustees-ok-new-unit-for-system-wide-online-education.html
