    I taught for Corinthian, and there was never a problem to me concerning academic rigor, quality of course materials, faculty training, and faculty credentials. Where they seemed to fall flat is recruiting/marketing, screening of potential students, and dealing with at-risk students. I'm not sure how these proposed regulations would make much of a difference in those areas.

    As with most regulations I'd say this is largely pointless.

    For the last two years at least schools have been listing their full lists of state approvals. I remember Global University, for a time, was not enrolling students in New York as they awaited for their approval (and I believe they weren't able to secure approval for their study group system and everyone has to enroll as an individual). Perhaps this was in preparation in anticipation of these new regs. But I don't see who will actually benefit besides, of course, the regulators who now have even more job security.

    The goal isn't really improvement, the goal is self-justification through demonstration of "doing something".
