New York Regents tighten controls on for-profit colleges
Chronicle of Higher Education, (2006)Abstract
The article reports that the New York State Board of Regents adopted a series of new rules that will tighten state control over for-profit colleges, which have become the fastest growing sector of higher education in the state, in December 2006. The rules give the Board of Regents and the New York State Education Department authority to withhold permanent degree-granting authority from new for-profit colleges for up to five years, during which time state officials can closely monitor the colleges. They go into effect December 28, 2006.
