Grand Canyon U. Rebuts Testimony from Hearing

On May 24, 2018, the National Advisory Council on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI) convened a hearing on the topic of “Oversight of For-Profit Institutions’ Conversions to Non-Profit Entities.” As subsequently reported in various media accounts, the hearing quickly devolved into a one-sided, partisan attack on the for-profit education sector, promulgated by a lineup of more than 20 witnesses that included a number of well-known opponents of for-profit education. Given the personalities involved, the lack of balance among panelists, and the repetitive positions staked out by these panelists, we ordinarily would choose to move on.
