With college enrollments mushrooming in many nations but public support generally unable to keep up, the world is seeing a historic swing from public to private financing of higher education...
Al-Zarqa Private University, one of the top private universities in the country, declined to renew the scholars' contracts at the end of the academic year. Many faculty members at the university, which is located in Az Zarqa, an industrial city northeast of Amman, operate under such contracts.
At a time when U.S. colleges stand accused of illegally profiting from unsavory associations with businesses involved in awarding federal student aid, at least one major public university has found an apparently legal partner: a for-profit university.
Thanks to a hastily adopted stopgap measure signed into law this month by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, some 400,000 students attending proprietary colleges in California will again be afforded some level of promise that the degrees and credits they earn will be recognized outside the state.
In a reversal of a recent trend, a nonprofit university has bought a for-profit college, part of the university's broader strategy of giving some of those ever-growing higher-education companies a run for their money.
Career Education Corporation, one of the country's largest operators of for-profit colleges, has announced that the U.S. Department of Justice concluded its three-year criminal investigation of the company and decided that no charges will be brought against it.
