As usual with new regulations, the consumer protection benefit is negligible and the real outcome will be to provide an advantage to large players at the expense of smaller ones. Although I suppose that once again the low-cost DEAC accredited schools that don't participate in Title IV are unintended beneficiaries.
I agree with Steve here. Although I assume that many institutions won't have to really alter what they're doing since they already meet so many of these criteria, less established outfits could find themselves having to play catch up. The "rock and hard place" argument is that the DoE, and by extension, the states, are simply looking out for students in expanding these rules/regulations and that by challenging them, the challenging party could appear "suspect". Probably the most interesting aspect will be institutions that have presence, whether physical or not, in multiple states where they may meet some states' criteria, but not others.
