This article and a longer follow-up outline Phil Hill's views on the current state of the online program management (OPM) market. The use of a graphic from Max Max: Fury Road summarizes that perspective quite well. "The company is losing its ability to steer and control its own destiny due to the financial pressures – more market valuation in nature than revenue or profit-based." Hill also comments critically on a Wall Street Journal 'gotcha' article. It missed, he says, what could have been a good story. "Aggressive recruiting of students for online programs – degree-granting and otherwise – is an annoyance and a weakness of the OPM market."
