Sacramento Bee: Protections for career-college students extended into ’08
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Thursday signed a bill temporarily extending student protections at California’s career-oriented colleges. But he acknowledged that new regulations are still needed.
The bill by Assemblyman Paul Cook, R-Yucca Valley, allows the state Department of Consumer Affairs to enter into voluntary agreements with for-profit teaching institutions to abide by state rules so the schools can remain in good standing through Jan. 31.
California had to act after a law — and the state oversight bureau it created — expired at midnight June 30, leaving an estimated 400,000 students without protection from fraud.
