It’s a very new school and I don’t think anyone is paying tuition yet because it’s not accredited.

So many public flagship universities with online classes, so many ivy and privates with classes tought by adjunct, Grad students, etc. The cost-value relationship is hard to assess. More options with merit is great.

Most ivy’s don’t have a significant amount of adjunct faculty outside of the arts.

When they are “abroad,” they’re just doing online classes while living elsewhere. No professors or staff.

The people behind this clearly don’t understand the social and developmental needs of college-aged students.

DH is an ivy adjunct. Many adjunct profs in all divisions (undergrad/masters programs, etc). A major cost savings for the university. Pay is low/no benefits. DH enjoys it but pay is ridiculously low when you know what these kids/families pay.

They are following same marketing strategy as schools like Northeastern.

No, it is accredited by Texas to award bachelor’s degrees.

Hardly. I don’t see any of the tactics Northeastern uses like massive marketing to east coast privates, huge publicity campaigns and shunting the students with lower GPA and SAT scores to second term admissions or satellite campuses so it doesn’t have to report those stats to USNWR.

It’s spelled Ivies and, of course they have adjuncts, in every field. I had several at Harvard Law.
