July 23, 2006 - diUlus Institute & University (dIU), www.diUlus.org, is a tuition free, self-accredited education research based incubator founded by Global Academy Online, Inc., and is the world’s first totally tuition free university without strings attached.
Designed by Global Academy Online, (the Academy), the new university provides an open book for the Academy’s institutional clients to view how to properly develop and deliver online courses and instruction to a global market. Courses engineered and developed by Academy faculty include degree programs in 31 disciplines; all designed according to the Academy’s Dean of Faculty, Dr. Larry Brown, a former Harvard Fellow and accreditation expert “to meet strict national and international accrediting standards.”
Eligibility for admissions, according to Registrar Kim Parsons, is limited to 150 diUlus-scholars. They are selected from among potential students from United Nations identified developing countries and those currently serving in the military forces engaged in the war on terror. Parsons went on to say, “It is now possible for scholars who otherwise could not afford the heavy price of a college education to study under outstanding doctoral faculty.”
LaFonda Oliver, public relations director and VP of Communications for the Academy notes, “As a self-accredited institution in America and a licensee from a claimed thousand year old religious order seeking guest status at the UN, the faculty and principals at the Academy realize its incubator research university has the clinging-to-tradition types worried. They are”, she says, “greatly concerned about the speed with which a college or university can be formed, up and running, and marketed internationally without having to spend years building a reputation.”
Fred DiUlus, CEO of the Academy, grandson of the namesake of the University and chair of dIU’s board of trustees states “there are broad economic ramifications being brought to bear on traditional institutions by the incredible growth of online education. Their worst fear” according to DiUlus, “is the reality of the late Peter Drucker’s prediction, that brick and mortar institutions will not survive another generation.”
