Smaller schools such as Stephens are set to be most heavily hit, it appears, which is tragic. I also wonder what happens if the online student is traveling and takes on session in a state the institution is not licensed in? This law is backward thinking.
If some schools are offering crap services (which some are), why are students going there? Where are the accreditation agencies to determine this for consumers? Why doesnt word get around that University X is crap, so dont go there? Columbia Colleges online presence (and night school) is absolutely booming, likely because they produce a good product, that particularly caters to the growing segment of non-traditional students. (and, unlike MU, they dont have the strings attached that government dictates and subsidies bring)

Steve, I agree with you for the most part. Youre right that schools like Columbia College offer a quality product,runescape gold. but theres also a market for crap and accreditation is not a consumer protection for the most part.
And who, pray tell cheap rift gold, is regulating the not-for-profit colleges who accept anyone with a pulse?

Whatever your feelings about online education, its here to stay.
This is the craziest thing. The Federal government is to keep trade between the States regular. That is, the Feds are to smooth out and prohibit protectionist and restrictive trade policies that one state inflicts on others. Instead this new law seems to require licensing for each online higher ed provider in each state in which a student enrolls. ThMU Online Spread of e-learning could get costlyat is the opposite of what the Constitution allows the Feds to do.

--this is no surprise, as online learning is more open source than traditional schoMU Onlineoling. It serves non-traditional students that are not on establishment education insiders radar. Their cheese has moved, they are losing market share to learning delivered in the way more student desire to consume it, and they are not satisfied.
This sounds like yet another honest attempt to make things better that has gone horribly wrong because lawmakers were either short sighted or uninformed. And by uninformed I actually mean too darn lazy to do their research.
