administrators, faculty and staff from across the University. Between September 2011 and April
2012, the task force met as a whole for six full days and spent many more hours gathering data and
working in smaller groups. Over 1,000 key stakeholders (alumni, faculty, staff, students, trustees,
Congregational members and community leaders) provided input about the challenges and
opportunities facing the University. Over the winter, members of the Planning Task Force worked
in committees to prepare a set of concept papers that contextualized the themes, explored the
challenges facing the University, and suggested ...

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Development of Distance Education Programs
Within the University of Nebraska–Lincoln
A Four-Year Strategic Plan
March 1, 2004
2. Executive Summary
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is committed to providing quality distance education
programs that build on areas of academic strengths, and are competitive in a technology
environment, so that learners can attain degrees or enhance their career/professional development
regardless of location. The greatest growth opportunities are with non-thesis masters programs
and graduate certificate programs. While UNL’s primary responsibility is to serve citizens of the
state, we will be aggressive in expanding program niche market opportunities to the nation and
world. As the number of out-of-state distance education student enrollments increase, tuition
differential funds will increase, thus making more funding available to support units in the
development and delivery of quality distance education programs. As we enhance existing and
develop new distance education programs, our emphasis will be on departments/colleges having
growth management plans in place, to help ensure quality of instruction and a proper balance
between enrollments and available program resources. UNL distance education enrollment
growth over the next four years for technology delivered graduate and selected undergraduate
professional courses is projected at an average annual rate of 10%. Academic colleges and
support services to support this growth will use funds from tuition differential generated by
increased out-of-state enrollments, Special Contract enrollments and fees. The following
recommendations will help facilitate distance education growth and development:
Recommendations:
1. Assess faculty support needs, program growth capacity, niche markets and the best use of
available resources to support existing and new distance education program offerings in
the academic colleges/departments. This assessment process will include academic
colleges developing a strategic plan, business plan and cost model for each distance
education program.
2. Develop a market strategy targeting both in-state and out-of-state distance education
students where excess program capacity and/or new distance education program
opportunities exist.
3. Identify distance education programs with large out-of-state markets and set-up a model
to return tuition differential (difference between in-state and out-of-state distance
education student tuition) to the department. To qualify the following conditions must be
met:
The program being considered must be a distance education degree program.
A three-to-five year business plan must be developed.
The Chancellor, Senior Vice Chancellor and Associate Vice Chancellor for Extended
Education & Outreach must approve the business plan.
4. Annually provide one $50,000 grant for the creation of a new distance education degree
program and up to four $25,000 grants for expanding/improving existing distance
education programs.
2
3. 5. Seek external funding support for distance education research and teaching projects
through the Office of Research and Graduate Studies.
6. Define, develop and deliver training to faculty and graduate assistants on the use of
instructional technology for distance education and residential courses with a focus on
managing expectations of the 24/7 teaching paradigm shift.
7. Define and address faculty and student support policies and administrative processes that
guide appropriate distance education development.
8. Identify and address faculty and student issues that enable University of Nebraska
intercampus collaboration in sharing courses that support distance education programs.
Develop models that support sharing distance education courses between institutions
outside Nebraska, as appropriate.
9. Assess the quality of distance education courses/programs and establish guiding
principles for application to all UNL distance education programs.
10. Create a more collaborative partnership in the development and delivery of College
Independent Study and Summer Reading courses with academic colleges.
11. Develop a strong sales/recruitment program to enhance current client relationships, foster
new client relationships and increase Independent Study High School visibility and sales.
Seek out and establish partnerships that support the growth and development of the UNL
Independent Study High School.
12. Explore and evaluate the application of instructional technology that supports distance
education and residential instruction.

4. Future Distance Education Programs and Direction
Introduction
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has a long-standing tradition of distance education
programming and is committed to continue developing programs that are competitive in a
technology environment. Individuals in both the rural and urban geographic regions, who are
place and/or time bound, require opportunities for learning. Distance education provides this
opportunity. To serve these educational needs, UNL will continue to build on areas of academic
strengths and will use the latest available cost-effective technology to deliver high quality,
distance education programs and courses, so that learners can attain degrees or enhance their
career/professional development regardless of location. While UNL’s primary responsibility is to
serve citizens of the state, we will continue expanding program market opportunities to the
nation and world. For many of the degree programs, expanded markets are the only way UNL
can offer distance education programs to citizens of the state.
As we continue to develop distance education programs in these times of financial restraint,
focus will be on managing the growth in credit hour production and the number of programs
delivered to ensure quality of instruction. A careful assessment will be made with each academic
college currently providing distance education programs or planning new distance education
programs to determine program growth capacity and the best use of available resources for
supporting these programs. The greatest growth opportunities are with non-thesis masters
programs and graduate certificate programs. Non-thesis masters and certificate programs fulfill
the educational needs of many adult learners wanting to enhance their career and require less
time for faculty advising.
Principal Academic Emphasis
The Board of Regents has called for distance education to be a part of the core activities of the
University. Further, given the dispersed geographic distribution of Nebraska’s citizens, distance
education is needed to provide access to the University’s education resources. Distance
education is seen by those academic colleges that have viable programs, as a valuable method to
increase the effectiveness and efficiency of learning and as a means to increase their own
strategic options in planning for the future. The goal is for faculty, departments and
administrators to treat distance education responsibilities as part of their normal workload and
not as an extra, or adjunct, responsibility, thus allowing UNL to be a stronger and more
responsive university. UNL’s priorities for future program development and delivery are listed in
order of importance:
1. Develop distance education graduate degree and certificate programs for
professionals in fields of UNL’s special expertise.
2. Develop modules with specific learning outcomes to be used in credit and non-credit
programs.
4
5. 3. Develop courses, sets of courses or certificates in undergraduate professional
programs, i.e. Journalism and Agriculture.
4. Explore the application of instructional technology to support learning of distance
education and on-campus students.
Academic colleges providing distance education programs, strive to adhere to best practices for
offering technology delivered degree and certificate programs developed by the eight regional
accreditation commissions. These standards constitute a common understanding among the
regional accrediting associations of those elements that are necessary to deliver high quality
distance education programs:
that education is best experienced within a community of learning where competent
professionals are actively and cooperatively involved with creating, providing, and
improving the instructional program;
that learning is dynamic and interactive, regardless of the setting in which it occurs;
that instructional programs leading to degrees having integrity are organized around
substantive and coherent curricula that define expected learning outcomes;
that institutions accept the obligation to address student needs related to, and provide the
resources necessary for, their academic success;
that institutions are responsible for the education provided in their name;
that institutions undertake the assessment and improvement of their quality, giving
particular emphasis to student learning;
that institutions voluntarily subject themselves to peer review.
(Source, North Central Accrediting Association web site; “Best Practices For Electronically Offered Degree and Certificate
Programs”)
When evaluating new distance education degree and certificate programs the following guiding
principles will be used:
1. Does the program support a defined need within Nebraska, the region, the nation or
the world?
2. Does the college have adequate resources to support a quality program and provide
student advising and other support services, without diminishing support for existing
programs?
3. Does the program fit within the role and mission of the University of Nebraska–
Lincoln and the academic college?
4. Is the program an extension of what faculty do in their on-campus programs?
5. Will the program add value for UNL?
6. Is there a defined process for assessing student outcomes to help ensure that students
are provided a quality learning experience?
7. Are there collaborative partnerships that expand resources by building relationships
with other colleges and universities within the state, region or nation?
New Distance Education Degree Programs and Courses
The College of Architecture is developing a Master of Science in Architecture with a
specialization in Interior Design to start in the fall of 2004. This 36-credit hour program of study
5
6. is designed for those students who have successfully completed an undergraduate degree in
interior design or a closely related field (Foundation for Interior Design Education and Research
accredited). With a nationally recognized undergraduate interior design program, UNL is poised
to meet the demands of both the growing number of interior design students who seek advanced
education and the various commercial sectors for designers with graduate degrees. The primary
target audience will be the 300 undergraduate College of Architecture alumni living in Nebraska
urban communities and throughout the United States. Anticipated enrollments for the first year
of the program are 12 to 15 students.
The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Department of Food Science and
Technology is planning to offer certificate programs (i.e., food safety certificate), and ultimately
a Master of Science in Food Science and Technology. These programs will be offered to students
in Latin American countries, starting first with Ecuador and Colombia in the fall of 2005,
utilizing the Spanish version of the courses. The business plan developed by the Department of
Food Science projects that 20 students could enroll in the program the first year, building up to
60 students per year as the program expands to other countries.
The Office of Extended Education & Outreach will work with the academic college deans and
associate deans to identify opportunities for the delivery of degree and certificate distance
education programs. Emphasis will be given to those departments and colleges that do not have
distance education programs. Course/program development grant funds will be used for seed
money to start new distance education graduate degree and certificate programs. Start-up
programs will require a business plan, which includes a market assessment and defined demand
for the proposed program.
Expansion of Existing Degree Programs and Courses
6
7. As UNL continues to develop distance education programs in these times of financial restraint,
emphasis will be placed on managing the growth of credit hour production to ensure quality of
instruction and student support services. To bring greater focus and structure to this process,
academic colleges will be asked to develop a distance education strategic plan and supporting
business plan. These plans will be used to evaluate program demand, determine program growth
capacity, and define the allocation of financial resources for maintaining and/or growing priority
programs.
The Master of Agriculture program has growth opportunity and considerable excess capacity as
do the master’s programs in the College of Education and Human Sciences. These programs are
well-suited for rural and urban audiences in Nebraska and the nation. The Department of
Entomology charges a higher tuition than do other, UNL distance education programs to out-of-
state students for the distance education Master’s program in Entomology. The tuition
differential funds from these students are returned to the department and used to support the
Entomology program as defined by the business plan. The Department of Entomology, also, has
a collaborative partnership with the University of Nebraska at Kearney, which supports the UNL
Master of Entomology and UNK Master of Biology programs. In addition master’s programs in
Journalism, and the College of Business Administration and Engineering have some growth
capacity and are important programs for citizens of the state.
The College of Education & Human Sciences offers two doctoral degree programs within the
Department of Educational Administration. The demand for both programs is high and requires
implementing enrollment management plans in order to maintain quality and ensure that program
size does not exceed available department/college resources. Program leaders for the Educational
Leadership and Higher Education (ELHE) doctoral program in the College of Education &
Human Sciences are developing a business plan and will request approval to receive out-of-state
student tuition differential starting in the of fall 2004. This strategy is important for the ELHE
team to obtain additional financial resources to help support this internationally recognized
program. The break down of ELHE program enrollments is 30% from Nebraska, 60% from the
United States and 10% from other countries.
Building stronger partnerships with academic departments is a primary area of focus for the UNL
College Independent Study Program. These partnerships are essential to the growth and
development of the College Independent Study Program and will require developing a different
revenue sharing model. Program growth strategies are focused on serving place bound, time
bound adult learners throughout Nebraska and the region, and working with UNL academic
department advisors to assist on-campus students with course electives. New courses will be
developed based on defined demand for the course and availability of academic college faculty
to support the course. Current courses with low enrollments will be dropped. These strategies are
critical in reversing the declining enrollment trends occurring in 2003–2004.
The UNL Independent Study High School will continue to strengthen its partnership with the
Nebraska Department of Education and K-12 school districts within Nebraska. To expand the
out-of-state market, more aggressive marketing will be done with community, national and
international organizations that provide on-line and print courses to high school age students.
The ISHS will continue developing new on-line courses and revising existing courses that are
7
8. market and/or programmatically driven. It is anticipated that these strategies will help reverse the
declining enrollment trend that is still occurring within the ISHS program.
Response to Need and Demand
Between 1998–1999 and 2001–2002 UNL distance education course enrollments increased by an
average of 58% per year. During this three-year period, UNL transitioned to on-line course
offerings, which account for much of the rapid growth along with new degree programs and
increased enrollments in Teachers College programs (College of Education & Human Sciences).
In the last two academic years enrollment growth has flattened out considerably, showing an
increase of 13% in 2002–2003 and a projected increase of 14% in 2003–2004. On-line or
distance graduate course enrollments accounted for 87% of total enrollments in 2003–2004.
In the last four years, some of the most creative work in distance education has been done with
special contracts. A Special Contract is a joint partnership between an academic college or
colleges and another organization, institution, business or agency for the development and
delivery of a specialized credit program that services the members/employees of that group.
Special Contracts allow academic colleges to customize distance education programs for targeted
audiences and establish a program price determined by market conditions. Revenue generated
from the Special Contract “D” courses is expected to cover the cost of providing the program.
UNL will continue to support special contract programs that fit within the role and mission of
academic colleges, when adequate resources are available to support a quality program without
diminishing support for existing programs within the department/college. Special Contract
program “D” course enrollments have increased from 196 to 400 between 2000–2001 and 2002–
2003. In 2002–2003, out-of-state distance education students accounted for 54% of “D” course
enrollments. The following guidelines apply to Special Contracts:
Identifiable population to be served.
Customization of curriculum, delivery mode, location of delivery and/or unique schedule
of expectations not normally included in regular course or program delivery by the
University.
Special financial arrangements required or negotiated, i.e. fixed pricing over a contracted
time period; specified payments for course development, travel, etc.; or consolidated
billing to the organization/institution.
Projected enrollment increase for new and existing distance education programs/courses is an
average of 10% per year from 2004–2005 through 2007–2008. Most of the growth will occur in
masters degree programs that have excess capacity and new degree and certificate programs that
will be developed in the next four years. To increase enrollments will require aggressive target
marketing of individual programs within Nebraska, the nation and the world. Targeting Nebraska
alumni living outside the state is an important target audience for some distance education
programs. The greatest potential for graduate student growth will be the out-of-state market.
Table 1 shows a 64% growth in out-of-state “S” course (technology delivered distance education
courses) enrollments between 2003–2004 and 2007–2008 compared to a 23% in in-state “S”

11. Funding Support for Distance Education
Funding support for the UNL distance education program comes from the general fund in the
amount of $815,000. Distance education students are charged a $60 per course distance
education fee ($20 per credit hour) and the $20 per semester registration fee. They are also
charged the $6 technology and $2 library per credit hour fee. The technology fee is transferred to
Information Services and library fee to Libraries. In addition, the Chancellor’s office provides
$200,000 of discretionary funding to be used for course development grants, expansion of
existing distance education programs and seed money for starting new distance education
programs.
In July 2003, the NU Presidents Council adopted a policy giving the chancellors authority to set
out-of-state tuition for distance education students at a higher rate than the in-state tuition. This
tuition differential (difference between the in-state tuition and out-of-state distance education
tuition) is returned to the campus and funds are used to support distance education programs. The
Department of Entomology’s Master’s program is a pilot program where out-of-state tuition
differential funds are returned directly to the department in support of the program. All other
funds are returned to the Office of Extended Education and Outreach (EE&O) and distributed to
academic colleges for support of distance education programs.
Tuition differential for out-of-state distance education students in 2003–2004 was set at $80.25
per credit hour for all UNL “S” graduate courses, except the Master’s program in Entomology
that is $119.25 per credit hour. The tuition differential for undergraduate courses is $60.75 per
credit hour. The master’s program in Entomology tuition differential rate will increase to $173
per credit hour in 2004–2005. The tuition differential rate for all other UNL distance education
“S” courses will be increased by at least $10 per credit hour each over the next four years. This is
a $40 increase per credit hour going from $80.25 to $120.25. Even with this kind of distance
education out-of-state tuition rate increase, UNL will not be at the midpoint of peer institutions
(Table 8). Revenue generated from the tuition differential is projected to increase by $480,602
between 2003–2004 and 2007–2008 (Table 2). Distance education fee revenue and the semester
registration fees will increase by 46% over the same four years. The increased revenue from the
tuition differential will be used to support the expansion of distance education programs within
the academic colleges. The increased revenue from distance education and semester registration
fees will be used by EE&O to partner with academic colleges on new instructional design
positions and expansion of faculty and student distance education support services.

07–08 5,280 2,206 $316,800 $52,800 $819,552
Academic colleges/departments with established distance education degree programs that
include a strong out-of-state market will be encouraged to charge a higher out-of-state tuition
differential than the UNL out-of-state “S” course rate. If the program meets the criteria, which
has been established, the tuition differential will be returned to the program. UNL’s criteria for
allowing the tuition differential to be returned directly to the college/department (i.e. Department
of Entomology) to support the program are:
The program being considered must be a distance education degree program.
A three-to-five year business plan must be developed.
The Chancellor, Senior Vice Chancellor and Associate Vice Chancellor for Extended
Education & Outreach must approve the business plan.
In the absence of meeting these criteria, the funds are retained on campus and “directed toward
distance education” generally, through the Office of Extended Education & Outreach. As the
number of out-of-state distance education student enrollments increase, out-of-state tuition
differential funds will increase, thus making more funding available to support academic units in
the development and delivery of distance education programs.
To provide greater incentive for new distance education degree and certificate program start-ups
and expansion of existing programs, the majority of the $200,000 in discretionary funds provided
by the chancellor’s office will be redirected. One $50,000 grant will be made available annually
for a new program, and up to four $25,000 grants will be made available for expansion of
existing programs that have excess capacity. The development of a business plan that
demonstrates program demand will be required to obtain the $50,000 and $25,000 grants. This
will leave $50,000 for new distance education course development grants.
New Institutional Program Partnerships
The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources is being assisted by the Great Plains
Interactive Distance Education Alliance to form a partnership with Iowa State University,
Kansas State University and University of Missouri–Columbia in sharing courses that will
12
13. support the Master’s degree in Agriculture. The partnership is also interested in graduate
certificate programs and courses that support selected undergraduate programs within the region.
The College of Journalism and Mass Communications is working with the academic officers of
the Nebraska community colleges to form a partnership for the delivery of selected
undergraduate Journalism courses. Journalism courses will target educational interests of local
media practitioners and potential UNL Journalism transfer students.
Expansion of Student Support Services
While considerable progress has been made in mainstreaming distance education student support
services, UNL must continue to identify and eliminate barriers that make it difficult for these
students to be a part of the university community. In examining the three phases of student
services, admissions, completion and graduation, there are issues that need to be addressed. We
need innovative ways of serving the part-time, distance student. This is important in order to
better manage the increased number of programs and students. Creating an on-line “distance
student handbook” that provides generic information for admitted distance students, such as
information on library services, help desk support, deadline by when students need their
memorandum of courses approved, comprehensive exam forms and dates and graduation
applications. Streaming of the graduation ceremonies helps distance education students become
more connected to the campus community. Career Services and the Alumni Association can
encourage professional networking of current, graduating, and former distance students in
specific professional areas.
Expansion of Faculty Support Services
Faculty support services are divided into training, course development and delivery and teaching
assistance. The On-Line Summer Institute, offered in the spring, has been very successful in
helping faculty wanting to learn how to develop and teach on-line courses. The faculty
demonstration luncheons, held three times a year, provide faculty with opportunities to
demonstrate how they use technology in teaching their distance education courses and to learn
from each other. Both of these programs will be continued.
Faculty need help in managing expectations created by the 24/7 teaching paradigm shift. This
includes reducing the amount of time required in managing student e-mails, shifting student
support services to support service staff and using teaching assistants, where appropriate.
Workshops will be developed to assist faculty in addressing these issues. Instructional design
support is a valuable service for faculty teaching distance education courses. EE&O partners
with the College of Business Administration, College of Education & Human Sciences, College
of Architecture, College of Engineering and Technology and College of Agricultural Sciences
and Natural Resources to provide instructional design support. This program will be expanded to
other colleges, as financial resources from distance education fees become available. The
Graduate Assistant Distance Learning and Technology Institute, started in the fall of 2003, trains
graduate students in on-line course development and teaching. It has already proven to be useful
in assisting some faculty with their on-line courses. This training institute will be continued.
13
14. Policy and Administrative Process Changes
The following practices will be evaluated and policy or administrative process changes made to
help facilitate appropriate distance education development and sustainability of programs:
1. Establish acceptable management guidelines for doctoral and masters thesis and non-
thesis distance education programs through collaboration between academic colleges and
Graduate Studies.
2. Develop a more student-friendly application and registration process for distance
education students enrolling in NU intercampus courses.
3. Eliminate need for distance education students to have multiple passwords when using
SIS+, Nroll, eNRoll and WAM, and create a more customer service friendly attitude
among campus units serving distance education students. The current system requires too
much faculty time to assist students and takes away from their teaching and research
responsibilities.
4. Increase awareness of the value of distance teaching in the promotion and tenure
process; hold up departments requiring faculty willingness to teach at a distance as part of
their hiring expectations.
5. Encourage campus and department staff to treat distance education as a core mission of
the university and departments, thus reducing amount of time required by faculty in
addressing distance education student support issues by moving these tasks to other staff.
Current Distance Education Programs and Trends
There has been a conscious effort to create linkages between academic units that provide content
for distance and supporting infrastructure necessary for programs and students to succeed. This
focus is helping to establish distance education as a core mission of the academic colleges and
University. Distance education degree and certificate programs currently being offered have been
built around academic strengths, and use available cost-effective technology to deliver high
quality courses, so that learners can attain degrees or enhance their career/professional
development regardless of location. Given the financial climate of the University, there has been
an emphasis on managing the growth of credit hour production and the number of programs
delivered to ensure quality of instruction.
In addition to the distance education graduate degree and certificate programs, UNL offers
undergraduate College Independent Study and Summer Reading courses. Faculty within
academic departments or adjunct faculty approved by the department head/chair provide course
content and instruction for College Independent Study courses. A number of residential students
supplement their UNL enrollment with CIS courses in order to meet course prerequisites and
graduation requirements. Adult place bound students use CIS courses to help them achieve their
educational goals.
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln Independent Study High School offers over 160 self-paced
courses and is accredited by the Nebraska Department of Education and the North Central
Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement. Home schools, public and
private high schools, learning organizations, military organizations, performing artists, athletes
and individual students and families, among others, have found that UNL’s approach to
14
15. independent study fits their individual needs. Students can take individual courses or enroll in the
UNL ISHS diploma program.

Nebraska Residents and Non-Residents
In 2002–2003 there were 466 undergraduate distance education course enrollments, 421 of the
undergraduate enrollments were Nebraska residents. 90% of all undergraduate distance
education student enrollments were Nebraska residents compared to 86% of undergraduate on-
campus student enrollments being Nebraska residents (Table 3).
In 2002–2003 there were 3,065 graduate distance education course enrollments, 1,385 of the
graduate enrollments were Nebraska residents. 45% of all graduate distance education student
enrollments in 2002–2003 were Nebraska resident compared to 52% of graduate on-campus
student enrollments being Nebraska residents (Table 4). While the number of distance education
graduate student enrollments has increased during 2002–2003 the percentage of Nebraska
residents has decreased. Out-of-state distance education student enrollments have increased at a
faster rate than in-state distance education student enrollments.

Urban and Rural
In comparing the urban versus rural distance education graduate student enrollments from
Nebraska in academic year 2002–2003, 67% were from the four urban counties of Cass,
Douglas, Lancaster and Sarpy, with the remaining 33% from the rest of the state (Table 5).
Urban versus rural data for the graduate on-campus students from Nebraska is not available by
county. As indicated by data shown in Table 5 the greatest potential for in-state enrollment
growth is in the four urban counties followed by the Southeast Extension District and the
Northeast Extension District.

Funding Support for Distance Education in 2002–2003
In 1998, the Board of Regents called for distance education to be part of the core activities of the
University. Included in this directive was a policy that Nebraska residents, taking distance
education courses, would pay the same tuition as students taking on-campus courses and that
tuition from distance education courses would go into the general fund. Teaching of distance
education courses is considered part of the faculty’s teaching load. In 2002–2003, UNL funding
support for distance education came from the general fund in the amount of $815,000 of which
$262,000 was transferred to the academic colleges and $107,000 supported the UNL Panhandle
Learning Center and UNL Northeast Learning Center. The remaining $446,000 was for student
and faculty support services and program administration provided by the Office of Extended
Education & Outreach. From 1998–1999 through 2002–2003, out-of-state students taking
distance education courses were charged a $65 per credit hour fee. In addition, the Chancellor’s
office provided $200,000 of discretionary funding to be used for course development grants. All
students taking distance education courses were charged the UNL $20 per semester registration
fee. Revenue from these two fees in 2002–2003 was $208,000. For a summary of 2002–2003

Some UNL distance education programs are supported through Special Contracts. A Special
Contract is a joint partnership between an academic college or colleges and another organization,
institution, business or agency for the development and delivery of a specialized credit program
that services the members/employees of that group.

University of Nebraska–Lincoln Comparison to Selected Peer Institutions
Table 8 shows the comparison of graduate degree programs, resident tuition and non-resident
tuition per credit hour, between UNL and eight peer institutions. When compared to other
institutions listed in Table 8, UNL’s tuition and fee charge per credit hour for both in-state and out-
of-state distance education courses is near the bottom. In comparing types of programs being
offered by UNL with nine peer institutions, UNL ranks among the top in number of graduate
degree programs offered. UNL does not offer undergraduate distance education degree or
certificate programs. Both Kansas State University and Washington State University do offer
several undergraduate degree programs, and Pennsylvania State University offers 22 under-
graduate certificate programs. For more information on peer program comparisons see Table 9.
