Betsy DeVos Weakens Protections For Online Learning In Higher Education - Wesley Whistle, Forbes

In a press release, DeVos said, “These regulations are a true ‘rethink’ of what is possible for students so that they can learn in the ways and places that work best for them.” But many worry these regulations put innovation and institutional burden reduction interests ahead of quality and consumer protection needs. In fact, some version of the word 'burden' appears 52 times in the final rule; the word 'safeguard' only appears 9 times.
