Virginia considers virtual university to ease enrollment boom
Virginia examines a virtual university blending online and traditional courses to add capacity as public colleges expect about 31,600 more students, or a 10 percent rise, by 2010. Start up costs would be minimal, with ongoing operation self supporting. Approval would require SCHEV, the governor, and the legislature.
