Backers of
Western Governors University hope it will revolutionize the ways
colleges compete for students, professors teach, and education is
measured, and believe the virtual university can help contain the
costs of educating growing numbers of students in the 16 participating
states. However, the administration faces challenges in areas of
accreditation, faculty, eligibility for student aid, and curriculum.
