LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1467, as introduced, Glazer.
Private postsecondary education.
Existing law, the California Private Postsecondary Education Act of 2009, provides for the regulation of private postsecondary educational institutions by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education in the Department of Consumer Affairs. The provisions of the act apply to private entities with a physical presence in the state that offer postsecondary education to the public for an institutional charge, but exempt an institution from its provisions, if any of a list of specific criteria are met. The act requires the bureau to adopt by regulation minimum operating standards for institutions that are subject to the act’s provisions, as specified. The act defines numerous terms, including “postsecondary education,” for purposes of the act’s provisions.
This bill would revise the definition of postsecondary education by replacing the term
“curriculum” with “instruction.”
