题目:
The following is part of a memorandum from the president of Humana University.
"Last year the number of students who enrolled in online degree programs offered by nearby Omni University increased by 50 percent. During the same year, Omni showed a significant decrease from prior years in expenditures for dormitory and classroom space, most likely because online instruction takes place via the Internet. In contrast, over the past three years, enrollment at Humana University has failed to grow and the cost of maintaining buildings has increased. Thus, to increase enrollment and solve the problem of budget deficits at Humana University, we should initiate and actively promote online degree programs like those at Omni."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

去年报名参加Omni大学远程教学系统的学生人数上升了50%.同年,Omni用于宿舍和教室的开支比前一年显著下降,很可能是因为远程教学通过互动电脑录像授课。比较而言,在过去三年中,Humana学院的报名人数下降了,而且用于房屋维护的费用上升。因此,为增加报名数量并解决Humana学院财政赤字问题,我们也应该开展并积极推广与Omni一样的远程教学系统。
