“We need a quality-based game-changer, and online education can help,” Wilson told an audience of about 50 during his keynote speech at the 2011 United States Distance Learning Association Public Policy Forum.
Wilson noted that of the 105 HBCUs throughout the nation, fewer than 20 have online degree programs.
