Many have shared their perspective from "sources" so I might as well. I live in Lynchburg and my company has some long-standing, collaborative ties with LU and we hear our share of information but a lot is also just gossip. That being said, I have been told Jr. realizes that online ed is now a commodity, and to continue to thrive, LU must continue to grow as a brick and mortar university, with a goal of 25,000 students by 2020. That of course would necessitate large scale growth of on-campus housing at a minimum. There have not only been spending reductions in many areas but layoffs as well. The goose that has lays the golden eggs may be changing production levels.
If true, I can't image the gridlock on Wards Rd with another 10,000 students in town!
