Duquesne University today said it is closing its School of Leadership and Professional Advancement in August 2015 but will continue to offer degree and other programs currently housed there by shifting them to other parts of campus. In a move the university said was separate but related, Duquesne plans to establish a campus-wide e-learning initiative intended to strengthen existing programs, broaden online offerings and create a more accessible online platform for undergraduates and graduates — both traditional and non-traditional. A national search will be conducted for a senior administrator to lead the effort, deemed a priority given the increased role of online education nationally, Duquesne Provost Tim Austin said.
