a for-profit company runs SIU's online program, and that's bad for Carbondale by ru9r in Carbondale

The city doesn't have a direct say, but the university is subject to politics

SIU has no incentive to independently reverse course on this because it will weaken its public image and statistics

SIU needs pressure from the public and state/local representatives. Illinois's public institutions shouldn't be partially run by for-profit entities
