We\u2019re going to hire a Vice President of Online Education and a full complement of support staff for our four faculty teaching online courses.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Admin 6 more months later: \u201cWe really don\u2019t need as many faculty for online courses, so we\u2019re letting most of you go. Also, we\u2019ll be hiring another Dean to handle the extra students. Feel free to apply for that position, but we\u2019ll need someone with recent experience working in the last year as a Dean.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Admin (one semester later, after considerable growth): \u201cWe have an open part time adjunct position to teach the online courses. We\u2019d be quite happy to see a resume that doesn\u2019t have any online degrees on it, so we can finally hire someone. If you know someone, have them apply.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;It\u2019s a real joy working for these people.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Online education has been a huge growth industry for higher ed. It barely existed 30 years ago, and just about every student takes at least some online work to get a degree.<\/p>\n<p>Trouble is, many online classes, even whole degree programs, are fraudulent. It isn\u2019t just the obvious cheating, the content of the coursework is so minimal that it doesn\u2019t actually help a student learn anything, much less train for a job. The latter detail is the important part, since much of online college is sold as \u201ctrain for a new job without leaving your old job!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s mostly fraud. The administrators of online colleges know its fraud, too, since they refuse to hire people with online degrees. If the people running the \u201cjobs training\u201d programs won\u2019t hire anyone trained in such programs, it\u2019s little wonder that the real world generally won\u2019t hire online graduates, either.<\/p>\n<p>After decades of such fraud, the Federal government has finally, after seeing much of a generation destroyed by this type of fraud, decided to do a little something about it, by instilling basic rules like \u201cthe college must inform students that their degrees are of limited, if any, market value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, colleges are having a tough time adapting to such draconian rules:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/news\/2018\/03\/09\/universities-stall-%E2%80%98confusing%E2%80%99-distance-education-regulations\">Colleges seek guidance about looming federal requirement for online colleges to tell students whether academic programs meet licensing requirements in their home states.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The implication of the above needs to be drawn out a bit. One of the big justifications for online education was that students from anywhere could take the courses. But, the colleges had been selling their online job training courses knowing full well that their \u201ccertifications\u201d weren\u2019t worth the paper they were printed on in most states (and by \u201cmost\u201d I mean 49, possibly 50 of them).<\/p>\n<p>Now, if we give the schools benefit of the doubt (not my inclination, to be sure), it still makes little sense that so many kids were \u201caccidentally\u201d misled about the value of the job training. Our schools are drowning in admin, after all, it would have only taken a few phone calls to find out if the training would have passed muster in another state (there are only 49 states to check certification rules in\u2026and that\u2019s a worst case scenario, it could be done every year without a problem).<\/p>\n<p><em>Under the new regulations, all higher education institutions that offer classes online must demonstrate that they are authorized to operate in every state where they enroll students who receive federal financial aid. The rules also mean that institutions must make clear their refund policies and procedures for receiving student complaints.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Again, the implications of the above bear highlighting. These schools knew what they were doing, and knew that the students, once they graduate, were going to come back and say \u201chey, this certification is absolutely worthless. I want my money back!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And the schools doubtless responded with \u201cNo refunds, even when we knowingly sold you something worthless. Sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The students complained to the government, and the specific types of complaints hinted at above came up so often that, yeah, the Federal government decided to make the rules very clear about how schools sold their training programs, and about that whole \u201cno refunds\u201d thing.<\/p>\n<p>I should also mention, accreditation forces every school to put, in writing, that they operate with integrity. But, alas, accreditation has no penalty whatsoever for violating accrediting rules so, integrity is jettisoned shortly after a school becomes accredited. Accreditation now only serves to grant a school access to Federal student loan money, which, again, is why the specific wording above clarifies for whom this new rule applies.<\/p>\n<p>If accreditation were legitimate, you wouldn\u2019t need that specific wording at all, because accreditation would already be forcing schools to act with integrity, or, more accurately, removing accreditation from schools acting without integrity.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additionally, institutions must provide specific information to students who are pursuing professions that require state licensure, which is common for nurses, teachers and counselors, among others. Institutions will be required to inform students if they are taking a program that will not qualify them to practice their chosen profession where they live. This means every institution must track the requirements for professional licensing in every state where they operate. Failure to meet these requirements could result in institutions losing eligibility for federal financial aid.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not to beat a dead horse here, but the above rules were created because, <strong>obviously<\/strong>, schools weren\u2019t acting with integrity as far as their license-required jobs training courses.<\/p>\n<p>Sooner or later the Federal government is going to realize what a mistake, what a waste of time, it is to have accreditation as the gatekeeper for Federal funds. When that happens, they\u2019ll simply change the rules to remove accreditors from higher education completely. They already serve no purpose, mind you, but I reckon it\u2019ll be another decade or so before our government will make them obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t think this will be a good thing. Accreditation came into existence because schools legitimately wanted to do honest work. All accreditation rules were written with an assumption of good faith in the participating school. Accreditation was never meant to be a gatekeeper for over a trillion dollars of student loan money, and, with that kind of money on the table, assuming good faith is, simply, stupid.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe after the government annihilates our current system of accreditation, we can hope that a new system of accreditation will come back into play, but I have my doubts: as long we\u2019re talking over a trillion dollars on the table, the entire idea of good faith will be an antiquated concept.<\/p>\n<p>Now, like any set of rules from the government, they\u2019re pretty confusing and subject to arbitrary enforcement. So, colleges are complaining, and to some extent I see their point.<\/p>\n<p>But the fact remains: if colleges acted with integrity, or if accreditation was legitimate, these new rules would never have been written\u2026and the fact also that none of the \u201cleaders\u201d running our schools get this important concept speaks more about the state of higher education today than any number of pages of new Federal regulations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.professorconfess.blogspot.com\/\">www.professorconfess.blogspot.com<\/a>m<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Admin, addressing full time faculty: \u201cWe\u2019re going to put more of our programs online, for more efficiency.
