This is the craziest thing. The Federal government is to keep trade between the States regular. That is, the Feds are to smooth out and prohibit protectionist and restrictive trade policies that one state inflicts on others. Instead this new law seems to require licensing for each online higher ed provider in each state in which a student enrolls. That is the opposite of what the Constitution allows the Feds to do.

--this is no surprise, as online learning is more open source than traditional schooling. It serves non-traditional students that are not on establishment education insiders radar. Their cheese has moved, they are losing market share to learning delivered in the way more student desire to consume it, and they are not satisfied.

And who, pray tell, is regulating the not-for-profit colleges who accept anyone with a pulse?
If some schools are offering crap services (which some are), why are students going there? Where are the accreditation agencies to determine this for consumers? Why doesnt word get around that University X is crap, so dont go there? Columbia Colleges online presence (and night school) is absolutely booming, likely because they produce a good product, that particularly caters to the growing segment of non-traditional students. (and, unlike MU, they dont have the strings attached that government dictates and subsidies MU Online Spread of e-learning could get costlybring)

Steve, I agree with you for the most part. Youre right that schools like Columbia College offer a quality product, but theres also a market for crap and accreditation is not a consumer protection for the most part.
Of course,dc universe gold. all this is a moot point now, as the courts have struck down the state-by-state licensing requirementMU Online:
The federal rule was intended to give states more control of for-profit online colleges thought to be degree mills that dont provide quality academics.
This sounds like yet another honest attempt to make things better that has gone horribly wrong because lawmakers were either short sighted or uninformed. And by uninformed I actually mean too darn lazy to do their research.

Its certainly been an eye-opener in that regard, Wade said. I had no idea how many ... were enrolling Missouri residents.
Smaller schools such as Stephens are set to be most heavily hit, it appears, which is tragic. I also wonder what happens if the online student is traveling and takes on session in a state the institution is not licensed in? This law is backward thinking.
