    A few months ago I clicked on Taft University's web site (being I'm inordinately proud of my LLM from said DEAC school) and found a long list of states from which the school said it would not accept applications due, I guess, to state regulations. One such state was my own, NM.

    Just now I looked again and the list has disappeared without leaving a ripple on "that oily, treacly sea" (Kipling).

    Does anyone have any idea what that was all about? Yeah, I could ask them I suppose but I'm lazy. (Retired. You know.) I figure one of the DI True Believers might already know.

    I see that Taft is a member of Colorado's State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA). I've seen some schools in the past not be able to afford admission to students from some states until they were a member of a compact like this.

    Maybe something like this was the change?

    That makes sense.

    IIRC, this has been a grey area for DL schools. Are they required to get separate permission to operate in each school from which they enroll students? Or may they enroll students based on their own (home) state license-plus-accreditation-etc.?
