Book excerpt: California has close to 2,000 privately owned schools that offer vocational programs not leading to a degree. These include schools providing training and certification for a wide variety of careers in such areas as computer technology, cosmetology, health care, and other business and technical occupations. In addition, there are over 300 privately owned colleges and universities that award degrees. These private schools and colleges are generally referred to as "state-approved" private institutions. They are regulated by the Department of Consumer Affairs, Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE) and may or may not be accredited. They are distinct from the colleges and universities that are commonly referred to as "independent." Independent colleges and universities are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and are not regulated by the BPPVE. It is widely recognized that the state's program for regulation of private postsecondary and vocational education is unsatisfactory. Some 13 reviews, reports and audits have been conducted in the past eight years to examine deficiencies in the program, the reasons for them, and possible solutions. Major problems exist in the structural framework of the law and the disparate sets of rules that govern different categories of institutions. In 2004, legislation was passed appointing an independent Operations Monitor to assess the Bureau's operations. In September 2005, the Monitor released a report with recommendations addressing problems in statutory, operational, and financial areas. The Operations Monitor's Report contains 77 recommendations for improving the oversight of private postsecondary and vocational education. Major problem areas lie in the structural framework of the law, the funding mechanisms, approval requirements and processes, and enforcement. This working paper provides examples of specific recommendations contained in the report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this report is to determine how best to ensure that California citizens will have high quality private postsecondary education opportunities and further, to assess the appropriate role for the State to play. It has been 14 years since the Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education Reform Act was passed, and a number of exemptions have been enacted or are being proposed that would alter the State's oversight responsibilities for specific groups of accredited schools. For this reason, the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC) believes that the time is right to review and compare the structure and functions of both the state agency responsible for oversight of private institutions and the non-governmental accrediting agencies that accredit many of these schools. Secondly, the state legislature is currently conducting a "sunset review" of the Reform Act for the purpose of determining whether or not the law should be continued. Finally, Congress is discussing the issue of self-regulation and accreditation of colleges and universities in connection with the reauthorization of the federal Higher Education Act. Major conclusions include: (1) both accreditation and State licensure address the issue of quality in the educational offerings of private postsecondary institutions, but are totally independent of each other; (2) State licensure provides a mechanism by which institutions that fail to comply with quality standards established by the state can be denied permission to operate in this state; (3) accreditation provides a mechanism for associations created and funded by institutions to adopt standards and practices by which the institutions essentially "police" themselves; and (4) state standards provide different protections for students and accreditation should not be viewed as an alternative or substitute for the adoption and enforcement of state standards--However, there are some areas where students and the public would be better served by streamlining state policies and coordinating the activities of the state with the activities of accreditation associations. Specific recommendations include: (1) the state's adoption of quality standards and the review process should take into consideration the standards adopted by and the review process used by accreditation associations so as to eliminate duplication and, wherever possible, strengthen the quality of educational programs; and (2) the Reform Act should be revised such that it can be implemented more efficiently and effectively to ensure that students and school owners are treated equitably.
