TICAS Letter of Support: Senate Bill 802

The California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education is undergoing a sunset review process this year, and the bill to reauthorize the agency – SB 802 – will be heard in the Assembly Business and Professions Committee on Wednesday, July 14. TICAS and partners submitted comments urging that the Bureau be reauthorized and fully funded, and included additional recommendations to empower the Bureau to be more proactive in preventing student harm, allow the Bureau to create and enforce stronger minimum operating standards for schools, provide more discretion on school approvals, and to expand the Bureau’s capacity to respond in the event of a school closure.
