Pl. see explanation

Explanation:
I have certain doubts and hence raising this to both Victor & Andrew. I agree with the transations in both the case. However, I would request your comment on the following:

ausschoepfen = exhausting ones resources
So, Possibilities / Potential............ exhausted? Is it ok. Are they resources?

Can I also translate as follows?

"These impressive figures should not mislead you to believe that potential / possibilities for doors of virtual university are closed"

or

"These impressive figures should not mislead you to believe that potential / possibilities for a virtual university do not exist.
