For what it's worth I have to make a public apology here, because a month or two ago in response to the rumor that this was going to happen I asked the administration at Charter Oak point blank, and they told me no, and even asked me to quash the rumor, which I dutifully came back here and tried to do.
Believe me, I'm not very happy about that. At all. Mea maxima culpa, everyone.
As for why they are doing this, who knows? Change in Connecticut state policy? Pressure from NEASC? Desire for more revenue? Some other reason? I'm not going to speculate. I do know that 2/3 of their students are in Connecticut, and I gather that quite a few of them take a lot of Charter Oak's online courses (like students at "normal" schools), and that 114'ers like us are only a minority of enrollees. Make of that what you will.
