The company changed its name in April of this year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2018, the company ran two for-profit universities\u2014Ashford University and University of the Rockies. In March of that year, the company announced plans to join these two institutions into one, spin them off into an independent non-profit, and transition itself into an online program management (OPM) service provider. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">To make this change, Zovio requires approval from the IRS, its accreditor WSCUC, the U.S. Department of Education, and state regulators as well. As of this week, it has checked off two of those boxes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">As a revamped OPM, Zovio has made two acquisitions this year. They <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/a-year-after-separating-from-its-for-profit-colleges-bridgepoint-education-makes-strategic-acquisition\/\">picked up the coding bootcamp Fullstack Academy<\/a> in March for roughly $20 million. At the same time, the company amended their SEC filings, saying that, contrary to what they previously reported, they had incurred an operating loss in the range of $13.6 million to $14 million during the quarter ending in December 2018. A month later, Zovio acquired TutorMe, an online tutoring platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Decision Comes as the House Passes Defense Bill Requiring Audit of GI Tuition Assistance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The accreditor approval of Ashford University comes following the passage of a defense bill in the House that targets for-profit colleges\u2019 policy toward veteran students. The National Defense Authorization Act passed the House on Friday. Following an amendment introduced to the bill by Florida Rep. Donna Shalala, the new version tasks the DoD with creating a publicly available website that will show where veteran tuition assistance funds are being spent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition, it mandates that the DoD needs to independently audit for-profit colleges that do not meet certain &#8220;financial responsibility&#8221; standards. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/congressional-record\/2019\/07\/10\/house-section\/article\/H5337-3\">The amendment reads<\/a>, \u201cThe Secretary of Defense shall audit the eligibility a proprietary institution of higher education to participate in the Department of Defense Tuition Assistance Program if the institution does not meet the financial responsibility standards under section 498 of the Higher Education Act 7 of 1965.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chronicle.com\/article\/After-Chronicle-Investigation\/241783?cid=wcontentlist_hp_latest\">An investigation<\/a> by the <i>Chronicle of Higher Education <\/i>in November 2017 revealed that Ashford University had cut corners to more easily enroll veterans using tuition assistance. To get around the stricter regulations for receiving veteran tuition assistance in California, Ashford had set up a second \u201cheadquarters\u201d in Arizona, where applications would be approved more quickly. That office was \u201croughly the size of a Chipotle restaurant,\u201d according to the <i>Chronicle. <\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">The actions amounted to noncompliance and, following the investigation, the institution said it would freeze GI Bill student enrollments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image: Tom Hoffmann accepts a diploma from Ashford University on behalf of his daughter, Sidney Hoffman, who was serving in Afghanistan with the Kentucky National Guard at the time.
