Skirmishes along the private education front. In this lead article, private colleges face scrutiny into their recruitiment practise - this after the Apollo Group (University of Phoenix) agreed to pay $9.8 million to settle charges that its recruiting practices violated Title IV of the Higher Education Act, according to this article. In another story, the Colorado Christian University has filed a lawsuit after being denied its application to the state's new college voucher program - it was ruled that it had not shown that it was not "pervasively sectarian". Meanwhile, in Chicago, reports of investigations into Hoffman Estates-based Career Education Corp. for its high-pressure sales tactics. This is the thing about privatizing public services - you may save money in the short term, but making sure they don't break the rules proves to be more costly. All stories via University Business.
