• | Gainful Employment: The proposed regulations would replace prior gainful employment regulations, rescinded by the DOE in 2019, that required each of our educational programs to achieve threshold rates in at least one of two debt measure categories. See our Form 10-K at “Business – Regulatory Environment – Gainful Employment.” The proposed regulations would establish rules for annually evaluating each of our educational programs based on the calculation of debt-to-earnings rates (an annual debt-to-earnings rate and a discretionary debt-to-earnings rate) and a median earnings measure. The DOE would calculate these rates and measures under complex regulatory formulas outlined in the proposed regulations and using data such as student debt (including not only Title IV loans but also certain private loans and extensions of credit), student earnings data, and comparative median earnings data for young working adults with only a high school diploma or GED. If one or more of our educational programs were to yield debt-to-earnings rates or a median earnings measures that do not comply with regulatory benchmarks for two of three consecutive years, we would lose Title IV eligibility for each of the impacted educational programs. The proposed regulations also would require us to provide warnings to current and prospective students for programs in danger of losing of Title IV eligibility (which could deter prospective students from enrolling and current students from continuing their respective programs). The regulations also require providing certifications and reporting data to the DOE and providing required student disclosures related to gainful employment. |
• | Financial Responsibility: The DOE’s proposed financial responsibility regulations include an expanded list of mandatory and discretionary triggering events that could result in the DOE determining that an institution lacks financial responsibility and must submit to the DOE a letter of credit or other form of acceptable financial protection and accept other conditions on the institution’s Title IV Program eligibility. See our Form 10-K at “Business – Regulatory Environment – Financial Responsibility Standards.” |
• | Administrative Capability: The DOE assesses the administrative capability of each institution that participates in Title IV Programs under a series ofseparate standards. Failure to satisfy any of the standards may lead the DOE to find the institution ineligible to participate in Title IV Programs or to place the institution on provisional certification as a condition of its participation. See our Form 10-K at “Business – Regulatory Environment – Administrative Capability.” Newly proposed rules would add more standards related to topics such as the provision of adequate financial aid counseling and career services, ensuring the availability of clinical and externship opportunities, the disbursement of Title IV funds in a timely manner, compliance with high school diploma requirements, preventing misrepresentations, complying with gainful employment requirements and avoiding significant negative actions with a federal, state, or accrediting agency. |
• | Certification Regulations: The proposed regulations expand the grounds for placing institutions on provisional certification, expand the types of conditions the DOE may impose on provisionally certified institutions and expand the number of requirements contained in the institution’s program participation agreement with the DOE (including, among other requirements, an obligation to comply generally with state consumer protection laws). The DOE typically provides provisional certification to an institution following a change in ownership resulting in a change of control and also may provisionally certify an institution for other reasons including, but not limited to, noncompliance with certain standards of administrative capability and financial responsibility. The DOE provisionally certified all of our institutions based on findings in recent audits of each institution’s Title IV Program compliance that the DOE alleges identified deficiencies related to DOE regulations regarding an institution’s level of administrative capability. An institution that is provisionally certified receives fewer due process rights than those received by other institutions in the event the DOE takes certain adverse actions against the institution, is required to obtain prior DOE approvals of new campuses and educational programs and may be subject to heightened scrutiny by the DOE. Provisional certification makes it easier for the DOE to revoke or decline to renew our Title IV eligibility if the DOE under the current administration chooses to take such an action against us and other provisionally certified for-profit schools without undergoing a formal administrative appeal process. See our Form 10-K at “Business – Regulatory Environment – Regulation of Federal Student Financial Aid Programs.” |
