Dakota State U. Sells Access to Its PeopleSoft Installation for Other Colleges' Classes - FLORENCE OLSEN, the Chronicle

Dakota State University has installed PeopleSoft's complex administrative-software -- not to run the business side of the university, but to teach courses in business and information systems. The university has even gone a step further and set up a large server on its Madison, S.D., campus so that other colleges can use the software in their own classrooms, over the Internet. According to PeopleSoft, Dakota State is the first university to offer "academic hosting" of the company's software. Through PeopleSoft's On Campus program, Dakota State has received free from PeopleSoft several complete software applications that the company values at about $3-million.
