an interesting article on Inside HigherEd about this very issue -- describing the
case Saro Daghlian v. DeVry University,
the plaintiff alleges that DeVry, an Illinois-based for-profit higher education
company with campuses in 25 states, including California,
violated California
law by failing to provide written disclosure explaining that DeVry credits
likely wouldn’t transfer to other colleges. DeVry, however, countered with the
argument that the statutes at play are unconstitutional: Essentially, California’s now-defunct
Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education Reform Act, which includes
the state’s student protection provisions, excludes all WASC-accredited
colleges, but not those overseen by other regional accreditors. DeVry is
accredited by another regional agency, the North Central Association.
