Leonid, You hit the nail right on the head! It is unfortunate that in many cases, private post-secondary schools are often surrounded by "caution tape". (Well put!) It's a long, sometimes ugly story as to why, but there are many private post-secondary schools who just take those laws, rules, and regulations, put them into practice and become really great institutions of learning! It's great that you have recognized how many regulatory agencies our sector answers to. Just by being aware of this, it will improve your performance at work. Especially with your attitude about it being good to protect the consumer shows that you have a great understanding of the why. I would encourage you to seek out information on your national accreditors website, on the BPPE website and on CAPPS website. There is lots of information provided to us to keep us in the know as to regulations and law. Besides the fact that it sounds like your institution is working hard, as many of us are, to continue to do what is right for our students! Donna Guisado
