NYUonline closes  − 1 December, 2001

NYUonline, New York University’s for-profit online distance learning operation, closes after 3 years and $25 million in investment. NYU blames the failure on the sagging economy. It closely follows the closures of similar for-profit ventures UMUConline (University of Maryland University College) and Virtual Temple (Temple University).
