The Trump administration's Department of Education altered the regulations for for-profit colleges, allowing them to include revenues from online courses not eligible for federal aid in their 90-10 calculation. This measure obligates colleges to derive at least 10 percent of their revenue from non-federal sources. Critics express concern over the lack of public input in the adjustment, suggesting it reflects a concerning trend of unilateral decisions without comprehensive rule-making. Proponents assert the change improves clarity and enforcement of the existing policies.
"The problem is if you allow this kind of arbitrary and capricious behavior on a relatively small gatekeeping mechanism, tomorrow, you may read that a whole bunch of other much more foundational gatekeeping metrics are also not to the administration's liking."
"The revision will allow the department to enforce the 90-10 rule in a more even-handed way," stated Jason Altmire, president of Career Education Colleges and Universities.
