player in the education industry:
“U. of Phoenix Might Face Lesser
Sanction from Accreditor”
“A committee of a regional
accreditor last week recommended that the University of Phoenix be placed
"on notice," which is a lesser sanction than the probation a peer
review team suggested earlier this year, the university said in a financial statement. The Higher Learning Commission of the
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools is considering the
university's 10-year bid for reaffirmation. The peer review team identified
alleged governance problems at the university, including a lack of autonomy
from its holding company, the Apollo Group. The university made subsequent
changes in response to the report. The commission's Board of Trustees is
scheduled to make the final ruling on the university's bid next month. The
board gets the final call and is not required to take into account the report
released last week by the commission's Institutional Actions Council First
Committee”.
