Will Facilitate Transition to Non-Profit Status for 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜, Furthering the University's 任务 of Serving Nontraditional Adult Learners

今天下午, the Idaho State Board of 教育 sitting as the Board of Regents of the University of Idaho granted approval for the creation of a not-for-profit entity that will acquire the operations of the 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜. 这 represents a historic opportunity to improve student access to higher education, a monumental broadening of U of I’s reach to nontraditional adult learners, 以及推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜转型的完成. U of I’s affiliation with 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜 unites the two institutions in a shared mission to illuminate and elevate students by expanding access to affordable, 与职业相关的在线教育.

推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜 primarily serves students who are working adult learners, 而我大学仍然是爱达荷州的赠地, 主要为传统学习者服务的住宿大学.

“全国各地的高等教育都在发生变化. 这, 再加上即将到来的全国招生悬崖, 小班制意味着更少的传统学生, 为我们创造了创新的机会,伊利诺伊大学校长斯科特·格林说. “通过与推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜合作, 在线高等教育的领导者, we bring together the best of both systems and build on our common desire to educate students.”

自1976年约翰·斯珀林创立推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜以来, 大约50年前, 我们的使命是提供方便, 向代表性不足的成人学习者提供职业相关教育,推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜校长克里斯·林恩说. “这所大学一直关注学生的成绩, 支持和提升技能, as well as understanding and reacting to marketplace trends from employers, and innovating ways to make online higher education more accessible and achievable. We are excited to build on the great legacy of our institution by working with University of Idaho, 我们国家最顶尖的公立大学之一.”

注意事项:

• 从监管和认证的角度来看, 通往非营利组织的道路将需要一些时间, as each regulatory and accrediting entity has their own processes to recognize 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜 as a non-profit entity.
• 在这个转变过程中, 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜将维持现有的运营团队, 现状与使命.
• The initial financial benefit to U of I will be $10 million per year, 投入到加州大学的战略工作中. 这一数字预计将随着时间的推移而增长.
• 除了财政支持, the affiliation also provides U of I with a robust technology infrastructure that can be adapted for U of I as well as statewide online programs. The student information system 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜 has built for enrollment and student support is comprehensive and well-tested.
• Unlike other recent transitions of for-profit universities to non-profit status, 没有私人受益人, previous owners or for-profit affiliates will remain associated with the university moving forward.

The demand for online programs for adult learners continues to grow each year. 这 affiliation allows U of I to serve this adult learner audience as well as place-bound Idahoans who deserve access to higher education. By working together, we can best meet the needs of all learners wanting to expand their education.

“作为爱达荷大学的校友, 我知道并欣赏汪达尔教育的价值,格林说. “这 affiliation only strengthens our ability to continue delivering on that promise of value to our students.”

推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜的校长, 克里斯·林恩, will report to a non-profit board that is being created for the acquisition. 此次收购取决于认证机构的批准. There are possibilities for future integration, but there are no specific plans at this point.

The acquisition agreement is for $550 million and will be funded by a mix of taxable and non-taxable bonds issued by the new not-for-profit. 这 money is separate from any U of I budgets, funding lines or state appropriations. 推荐全球十大博彩公司排行榜’s current ownership will also provide $200 million in cash that will transfer to the new non-profit.
