Dive Brief:

  • The U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment last week to its version of the National Defense Authorization Act for the 2020 fiscal year that would require the U.S. Department of Defense to audit financially shaky for-profit colleges that enroll members of the military.
  • It also requires the department to keep a public, online list of how much each college receives from the agency’s Tuition Assistance (TA) program. It was supported by most House Democrats and 20 House Republicans.
  • Although the legislation lacks clear teeth, observers say the information it gathers will be critical to the continued oversight of for-profit colleges.
