Many people in this country grow up dreaming about the college
experience hoping to obtain the education and skills they need to
be successful in life, but many students face obstacles to pursuing
their education. The recent closures of multiple large, private
for-profit institutions of higher education (IHEs), such as those
owned by Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (e.g., Heald College) and ITT
Educational Services (e.g., ITT Technical Institutes) have brought
into focus the extent to which a student's postsecondary education
may be disrupted by a school closure. The closures of these IHEs
also highlighted the numerous issues students may face when their
institutions close and the difficult decisions they may be required
to make in the wake of a closure. Two key issues students may face
when their IHE closes relate to their academic plans and their
personal finances. Chapter 1 provides an explanation of the options
a postsecondary student may pursue in the event the IHE he or she
attends closes, any financial relief that may be available to such
students, and other practical implications for students following a
school's closure. Recent high-profile incidents of sexual violence
on campus have heightened congressional and administrative scrutiny
of the policies and procedures that institutions of higher
education (IHEs) use to address such violence. Chapter 2 provides
background information on sexual violence on campus and its
prevalence, descriptions of the Clery Act and Title IX, and an
analysis of prominent policy and legal issues related to these two
statutes. It also includes a brief description of a related third
statute focused on educational privacy. One of the biggest
financial challenges in modern life is figuring out how to pay for
the cost of college. Over the last 40 years, tuition and fees have
increased over 1,200 percent. Chapter 3 looks at what is behind the
rising cost of college tuition and to consider whether this
Nation's tax policies are partly to blame.
