About me

I currently serve as the Vice President of Business Solutions for Bridgepoint Education. In my present role, I provide guidance to the company's ground based and online colleges to optimize their operations while staying within regulatory guidelines.

I have over 22 years of experience in the education industry. My experience encompasses virtually all aspects of the education business, including admissions, financial aid, academics, career services, and management of multi-campus operations. I’ve held senior level management positions at Career Education Corporation, MedVance Institute and the University of Phoenix (Apollo Group) as well as providing consulting services to a multitude of colleges and universities during my tenure with Campus Management Corporation.

My focus has been on campus start ups, regulatory compliance, process improvement, and operational oversight of multiple campus colleges, including international campuses. I recognize the challenges of working in a highly regulated environment that has grown more complex as companies have expanded operations, either organically or through acquisition, to include multiple regulatory bodies and governing oversight entities.

I hold a B.S. degree in Business from Arizona State University and an M.A. degree in Organizational Management from the University of Phoenix. I have completed the Apollo Group's Executive Development Program and the Career College Association's (now APSCU) Leadership Institute.

Good point, RoQuanda - the purpose of a dress code is often to prepare students for presenting a professional image to future employers. Sometimes understanding the "why" behind a policy helps people to comply with such.

Some regulators require such disclosure. Some require that if certain information is shared, that it be provided in specific formats and/or using certain formulas. Someone from your institution responsible for compliance and such disclosures should be able to answer for your specific school.

Sharon - I'm glad you mention accomodation need procedures. This is another area where schools need to ensure they are meeting requirements to provide reasonable accomodations.
