Seventy percent of ABC revenue is administered online as a Distance Learning program. With a major change when we aligned with CWU, the collection of tuition and related administrative dollars are received by CWU. (Only local facility fees are collected by WIBC, Inc.) In the past, all monies were collected by WIBC, Inc. and passed on to Southern Oregon University to cover salaries for Paul Kassulke and Scott McKee as well as course fees and facility rental. During the SHSU period (2010-1017) they directly collected fees with 58% of the funds returned to WIBC, Inc to hire sub-contractor lecturers, soloists and conductors. At CWU they still collect tuition and course-related fees but 80% of those dollars are now returned to ABC, which thus has found it necessary to provide salaries, insurance and retirement for two of our employees.”
