Challenge for UNH is not an easy one

Editorial, Foster’s Daily Democrat


The “State of the University” speech by UNH President Mark Huddleston offered much food for thought. What is new, or at least newer, is the challenge of online learning. UNH is burdened with much brick and mortar that sucks up resources. There is always a building begging for repair. Meanwhile online learning, which needs limited brick and mortar, has taken off. This is, in part, due to lower cost as well as students born, not with silver spoons in their mouths, but computers at their fingertips. All this and more presents a complicated rubric for anyone looking to keep UNH competitive and attractive to students who are confronted with an in-state tuition rate among the highest for public schools in the country.
