Ricks College/BYU-Idaho
The best example of this is probably what happened at Ricks College. Ricks College was a two year school run by the Latter Day Saint Church, part of their Education System, like BYU and BYU-Hawaii.
Since they capped the size of BYU and BYU-Hawaii specializes in those of Pacific descent, the place where they expanded was at Ricks College. They changed it to a four year school, changed the name to BYU-Idaho and instituted a 3 semester system with two on and one off. Almost all students do either Fall (Sep-Dec)-Winter(Jan-Apr), Fall-Summer(May-Aug) or Winter-Summer. There are a *few* students who can go all three semesters straight. The completely got rid of intercollegiate sports (which they had had a fairly good program) and both the intercollegiate sports and most of the student clubs became administration run. Note that Ricks didn't have any Fraternities or Sororities.
