| A. Recommendations
- HBCUs should form strategic partnerships
with for-profit institutions of higher learning for purposes of
distance learning.
- As part of the partnership agreements,
the for-profit partners should provide HBCUs with technical assistance
in converting HBCU courses into distance learning formats.
B. Follow-up Activities
- HBCUs interested in forming partnerships with for-profit
institutions are strongly urged to contact appropriate representatives
of the for-profit institutions that expressed affirmative interest
in such relationships in Table
D
- The DLL will attempt to contact the chief academic
officers of all HBCUs by email in order to call their attention
to this report. The DLL will host a workshop in late July to which
it will invite representatives of interested HBCUs and representatives
of interested for-profit institutions. Workshop participants will
be encouraged to share their current distance learning strategies
and course offerings. Hopefully, this sharing will help them to
identify partnership opportunities that are mutually beneficial.
