Skip the OPM! Colleges are creating their own online portal... - bjcheung77 - 01-04-2022
Lindenwood University is an example of one of those smaller universities that's creating their own "global" portal to attract prospective students. I think it's a better idea than using that "expense" on OPM's, they can have it all setup internally instead of paying an outside OPM to manage/market their programs.

This makes total sense to me. After all, any decent university is going to have all the skill/knowledge within their own organization. They just have to bring it together in a new way.
