The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents has tweaked a plan to restructure the UW System in order to maintain accreditation of online and competency-based degree programs. The plan to merge the system’s two-year colleges with its four-year universities would have put UW System Administration in charge of UW’s online associates degree program and its competency-based UW Flexible Option degree program. But UW System President Ray Cross says the Higher Learning Commission, which provides accreditation for UW said the online programs must be overseen by a four-year campus.
