California Sets New Course for Online Education

Among the dismal track records for statewide online higher education initiatives, California’s is unquestionably the worst. It started in 1997 when California Virtual University was established by UC, CSU, the California Community College system, and independent colleges as a clearinghouse for existing online course offerings. Following a lack of funding, planning and leadership, CVU was […]

For-Profits Are Big Spenders Among Lobbyists

There is no great surprise that for-profit institutions would seek to reverse much of the Department of Education’s attempts to regulate the sector now collapsing under increased public scrutiny, but it also continues the campaign of labeling the institutions as predatory institutions driven by profit margins and not student success. Unfortunately, their efforts are a […]

Education Department Preparing for More Shut Downs

The Obama administration is preparing for more colleges to be forced to shut down, a top Education Department official says, as the watchdog that oversees much of the for-profit college industry is pushed out of business. “We’re working hard on contingency plans about more school closures,” Ted Mitchell, the undersecretary of education, told BuzzFeed News. […]

Bill to Protect For-Profit Students Should be Retroactive

During this year’s legislative session, the Maryland General Assembly passed a bill to increase oversight of Maryland’s for-profit colleges. The bill didn’t just create tougher standards for for-profit schools, it also established a guaranty fund meant to reimburse Marylanders who were attending colleges that closed. But because it didn’t go into effect until Oct. 1, […]

University Creates Haven for Vets

The two offices on the fourth floor of Lowell Heiny Hall at Colorado Mesa University still smell new. New carpet, new paint and all new furnishings make the rooms feel clean and welcoming, and for the 400 veterans who attend CMU, they are a little oasis from the bustle of campus. The Veterans Services office […]

More Faculty Use Flipped Classroom

Technology presents opportunities for students to more efficiently submit work and engage in learning exchange. In the flipped classroom method, this is a key asset for developing competency-based models of progress and learning, as students can work independently with material and demonstrate, at their pace, mastery of a subject. More importantly, the method allows students […]

Texas Prepares for For-Profit Fallout to Spread

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The state’s Higher Education Coordinating Board is preparing for the ITT Technical Institute fallout to spread to other for-profit colleges across the state. Raymond Paredes, the Commissioner of Higher Education, gave KXAN an update on for-profit schools. Over the summer, ITT Tech caved in because the federal government would not back student […]

Charts Show Collapse of For-Profit Education

In 2012, the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions produced a scathing review of for-profit colleges and universities, spotlighting a culture of bringing in millions while students paying for education with federal loans were failing to get jobs or even complete degrees. That report would bring about increased scrutiny of some of […]

Minority Students Less Likely to Attend Top Public Colleges

Black and Latino students in the U.S. are far less likely than their peers of other races to attend elite public universities, according to a new study.

For-Profits Draw Disproportionately Among Minority Groups

When federal leaders discuss the predatory practices used by for-profit institutions to recruit and exploit students for federal aid money, this is the underreported statistic that families and students do not typically hear. And with these stats is the harrowing reality that many of these students, already saddled with debt which the federal government has […]
