Holloway announces council on online education

On Friday, University President Jonathan Holloway gave an address to the University Senate, discussing the results of past administration initiatives and the direction of future ones.

In his address, Holloway introduced the establishment of a council on online education, which will provide recommendations to University administration about strengthening Rutgers' remote learning infrastructure.

The council, headed by Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Prabhas Moghe, will steer the University's online education programs for on-campus, part-time and nontraditional students, Holloway said.

While discussing this investment, he maintained that Rutgers will primarily focus on in-person education and that online learning will only accompany it.

"We cannot afford to underperform in this important and expanding (online) pedagogical space," Holloway said. "Online education is a means to complement and enhance what we already do in the physical classroom and laboratory."
