Durbin Brings For-Profit Debate to Illinois
Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) announced Thursday that he plans to host a Chicago forum on for-profit higher education on Tuesday. Speakers will include two former for-profit students, the presidents of two public institutions, and executives from Career Education Corporation, Devry, Inc. and Kaplan University. The forum will consider "whether some for-profit colleges are exploiting rather than educating Illinois students" and include discussion of the industry's growth, reliance on the federal financial aid program and the value of the sector's degrees and certificates.

Mounting Congressional Scrutiny of For-Profit Colleges
Five Congressional Democrats on Monday asked the U.S. Government Accountability Office to begin a study of for-profit higher education that would look at institutional quality and business practices. The request comes just days after a House of Representatives hearing on accreditation that included criticism on the sector, and on the same day that witnesses were announced for Thursday's Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing on the for-profits. (The group scheduled to testify has a decided slant against the sector. The witnesses are Kathleen Tighe, the U.S. Department of Education's inspector general; Steven Eisman, an investor who has warned that the sector is "as socially destructive and morally bankrupt as the subprime mortgage industry"; Yasmine Issa, a former student at the for-profit Sanford Brown Institute; Margaret Reiter, a former California deputy attorney general and consumer advocate; and Sharon Thomas Parrott, chief compliance officer at DeVry, Inc.) The request for a GAO review came from the chairs of the House and Senate education committees -- Rep. George Miller of California and Sen

House Education Committee Hearing Examines Using Credit Hours to Ensure Program Quality
The House Education and Labor Committee held a hearing yesterday to examine how accrediting agencies assess the quality of higher education programs and discuss whether requiring a minimum definition of a credit hour and/or program length would help prevent institutions from inflating credit hours to reap more tuition and student aid dollars. The hearing was held in response to a May report issued by the Department of Education's Inspector General (IG) that accused a regional accrediting agency of not being strict enough when assessing the amount of credit awarded in a course offered by one institution. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), the committee's chairman, opened the hearing by saying that because students, students, parents and taxpayers continue to invest more in higher education, it is critical to know the return on that investment.

House Panel Plans Hearing on Accreditation and Program Length
The House of Representatives education committee said Thursday that it would hold a hearing next week to examine how regional accrediting agencies define the "credit hour" as they judge the academic quality and rigor of the institutions they accredit. The issue was raised in audits of three accrediting agencies that the Education Department's Office of Inspector General released in the last six months , amid concerns that the agencies are setting too lax a standard for the amount of time students spend on course work to earn academic credit. No details were available on the hearing before the House Education and Labor Committee, other than that it would be held on June 17.
