A new coalition of groups representing students, professors, high-school counselors, and admissions officers will unveil an advertising campaign this week that opposes legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives that would relax certain rules for-profit colleges must follow to participate in the federal student-aid programs.

The coalition, called "Keep Integrity," scheduled its first newspaper ad to run on Tuesday, the same day the House education committee is holding a hearing on allegations of wrongdoing by some for-profit institutions that were raised by a 60 Minutes report on the industry. The Republican leaders of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce agreed to hold the hearing after the panel's top Democrats demanded it (The Chronicle, February 11).

The legislation (HR 507) would, for example, eliminate a rule that requires a for-profit college to receive at least 10 percent of its tuition-and-fee revenue from nonfederal sources. And the legislation would remove the "50-percent rule," which prevents institutions that offer more than half of their courses via distance education from participating in student-aid programs.
