President of Kaplan College Highlights Issues Critical to Expanding Access to Postsecondary Education
Andrew S. Rosen, President and Chief Operating Officer, Kaplan, Inc. and President, Kaplan College, testified this morning before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, calling for changes in the Higher Education Act that would provide more equitable treatment for non-traditional students. The hearing, "H.R. 4283, the College Access and Opportunity Act: Are Students at Proprietary Institutions Treated Equitably Under Current Law," addressed issues facing proprietary institutions of higher learning as they serve an increasing number of students seeking the skills and credentials to advance their careers. Accompanied by Kaplan College online alumna Christine Forestire, Rosen addressed committee members on the following issues: -- The 50 percent rules hinder the power of online learning and don't serve the needs of 21st century learners -- The reauthorization of the Higher Education Act presents an unprecedented opportunity to ensure that quality education and training options are available to all motivated students -- How the 90/10 provision has become a disincentive for companies to serve the neediest students who would receive the most federal aid.
