This is an exciting topic. We also have a new president at the University of Wyoming, Dr. Philip Dubois, who has made distance learning one of his top priorities.

We must not let technical concerns stop us from using technology to vastly increase our understanding. The real task ahead of us is modernizing our higher education policy to reflect today's technological realities in education. And as legislators we must add flexibility to the law so it can keep up with the changes of tomorrow.
