Chile rescinds accreditation of Apollo for-profit

http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/420780.article

Chile's only university owned by the global arm of US for-profit education giant Apollo Group has had its accreditation withdrawn. On 18 July, following an unsuccessful appeal, Chile's National Education Council confirmed a decision by the National Accreditation Commission to stop accrediting the University for Arts, Sciences and Communication (UNIACC). The university's students will no longer be eligible for the Chilean government's state-backed student loan system, which allows borrowing at below-market interest rates. In its decision, the council said the university's goals and planning lacked clarity, and it criticised internal quality assurance mechanisms. It also expressed uncertainty over the institution's long-term sustainability and concern that its large projections of growth in e-learning would not guarantee adequate levels of quality.

As co-chair of Wisconsin’s powerful legislative Joint Finance Committee, Alberta Darling was charged by Governor Scott Walker with cobbling together the most anti–public education budget in Wisconsin history. And Darling delivered, with a plan to slash $800 million in funding for public schools across Wisconsin while at the same time scheming to shift tens of millions from the state treasury into the accounts of private schools.
