The members of the UNC-system Board of Governors encourage UNC-system schools to offer online educations so that they can cope with degree programs that are being cut. According to two national studies, the 2010 Sloan Consortium Report and the Managing Online Education Survey, due to the impact of the economy, a lot of students have been enrolling in online courses. The university system’s online demographics show that online education is already on the rise but could be affected by budget cuts. Research by Sloan Consortium Report has reported that the number of students taking online courses nationwide has increased from 1.6 million in 2002 to 5.58 million in 2009. It also says that due to the economic crisis, demand for online courses has increased.
