The Telegram - St. John?s, NL: Local News | Province wins case against Aruba university (http://www.thetelegram.com/index.cfm?sid=152484&sc=79)

[Aviv Imanuel]

"The province contended that a "major consideration," in allowing the designation was that the university had what's known as Title IV funding status from the United States, which includes a stringent evaluation process and investigation of schools."

They gave full faith and credit to the U.S. doe.


"Despite advertising on its website that the medical school had Title IV status, the province became aware that, in fact, it did not."

Blatant dishonesty on behalf of the school. Not to mention, false and misleading advertisement.

"As a result, the Education Department sent a letter to the school revoking the designation allowing student loans to local students."

Expected.

Meanwhile, in late 2006, under the direction of a committee that one of the Education Department's directors is on, regulations for granting student loans designation changed - making it imperative that a university be operational for 10 years instead of two to get a student loan designation.

Ouch! That's a blow for all new schools.
