WASHINGTON, DC – Responding to the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on higher education, Student Defense and the Institute for College Access & Success (TICAS) sent a letter today to state authorizers, regulators, and attorneys general urging them to closely monitor for-profit schools for red flags that may indicate risk to students, and to take action when needed to protect students from predatory institutions. Given states’ key role in consumer protection, it is essential that state authorizers take steps to protect students and ensure that institutions are providing a high-quality, appropriately priced education, and not engaging in predatory behavior.

The letter to states is available here.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced students to reconsider their college plans, and the effect of their choices will be long-lasting.
