In this weeks reading, sustainability and quality issues  for off shore campuses mentioned the huge financial responsibility campuses must undergo when deciding to create an off shore campus. An institution must have a lengthy time period that they wish to have an off shore campus as the initial financial burden is not seen to become of value until years later. Things that must be taken into consideration is funding for the campus and if the home campus is responsible or if they will be self sufficient, even though when starting this is not the case. In regards to the quality, most host and home institutions would like the accreditation of the home institution but the issue is being able to ensure the off shore campus can reach that same quality. It is mentioned that home campuses have little trust in programs that are offered at the off shore campus if the same programs are not offered at the home campus. I think this says a lot about the institution if they are unable to trust their off shore campus with their own programs. If this is the case in the strategic plan for the off shore campus they should be confined to only teach programs that are offered at the home country so their is not lack of trust. Language also comes into play if the host campus has another primary language than the home campus. This could provide a barrier for students who are coming from the home country to study abroad or if the home campus requires the off shore campus to teach their campuses in their native language. Lastly, faculty is a concern because there is a fear the faculty may not have the same educational background as those of the home country. I am willing to assume that this means they fear the educational background is less than those of the home country. This reading reminds me of our Altbach and Green articles we read the first week of class. I find this article very one sided as there could be faculty who have just a good background or better than those from American universities. Also, other readings have mentioned that not many countries feel that America has a top ranked education so though we feel out of shore campuses may lack in faculty with a strong educational background, that is just an opinion and not a fact. There are many countries and faculty who have studied outside of the U.S. that could qualify to teach at an off shore campus.
