New rules aim to help students get ‘gainful employment,’ especially at for-profit schools
For-profit schools are under the microscope as the Department of Education sets the definition for “gainful employment.”
“This goes directly to the heart of their business model,” said Kevin Kinser, a professor and senior researcher for the Institute for Global Education Policy Studies at SUNY-Albany. For-profit schools — like Bryant and Stratton College in Syracuse and ITT Technical Institute in Liverpool — earn up to 90 percent of their revenue from student tuition, according to the federal Department of Education. To pay the tuition, many students borrow loans or get federal grants. And the government underwrites the loans so that the schools get paid even if the students default.
Mayoral candidate forum held
The candidates for mayor in the village of Wellsville all seemed to share three goals: fix the drug problem in the village, bring new industry to the village and continue beautification project. Joe Soldando, Nancy Murray and Jack Cataldo answered questions for the village residents during “Meet the Candidates Night” in Wellsville.
The event was organized by “Concerned Citizens for a Better Wellsville,” and involved the mayoral candidates introducing themselves and answering both prepared questions and questions from the audience.
BWD, village can’t reach agreement
There is still no agreement on the issue of an outstanding bill between Buckeye Water District and the village of Salineville. The issue was debated at both the BWD’s board of trustees meeting and Salineville’s village council meeting.
At the BWD’s trustees meeting last Thursday, the council voted to send a letter to Salineville detailing the outstanding amount, which totals around $8,222. The letter was sent to Salineville Mayor David Berta on Monday morning, according to district manager Al DeAngelis.
That ‘pull-together’ attitude doesn’t last
After weeks and months of debating, Congress passed a measure on Monday to keep our country from defaulting on its debts. What was already an important night became even more memorable when Rep. Gabrielle Giffords returned to the House floor to cast her first vote since surviving an assassination attempt in January.
The debt-ceiling debate was a grim affair, with hand-wringing and partisan bickering reminiscent of election season. I tired of listening to the whining and accusations. So for the most part, I tuned it out and waited for the deadline to near, anxious to see what the decision would be.
