This is part 25 of Tony Bates' ongoing personal biography. My plan was to wait until he finished before linking, but this story from roughly 20 years ago captures what I'm sure was a common experience in the early days of distance and online learning, where the individual faculties decide they want to manage these programs on their own rather than relying on the (previously successful) centralized unit. This sort of thing still happens to this day. It's interesting that Bates was the same age then as I am now.
