4 I. Introduction The State Board Career Colleges and Schools ( Board ) was created by the Ohio Legislature in In 1989, significant legislative changes gave the Board more regulatory authority over career colleges and schools (private, for-profit, postsecondary) in Ohio. It also changed the composition of the Board to include more representatives from the public and it increased the number and responsibilities of its field staff. In recent years, increased oversight by the Board, as well as by national accrediting agencies and the United States Department of Education, has resulted in many changes to the career school industry. These changes resulted in a reduction of schools registered with the Board during the period However, the number of registered schools began increasing again after Those numbers are reflected in Chart 1 below. Chart 1 Number of Schools Number of Registered Schools Year In addition to an increase in the number of schools, the number of enrolled students has also increased over the last 7 years despite a reduction in students in FY 2012 as illustrated by Table 1 below. Table 1: Total Number of Students Attending Ohio Career Colleges and Schools Students Total Students 61,629 63,453 70,426 84,390 96,744 93,141 78,002 4

5 II. General Information about the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools A. Board Responsibilities The Board s general responsibilities include: 1. Maintaining the viability of registered schools through oversight of their programs and curricula along with their business practices, including advertising and recruiting. 2. Monitoring schools that provide educational and related services to a population of students who might not be served in the non-profit or public sector. 3. Protecting reputable schools from unfair competitive practices of unscrupulous school operators and their representatives. 4.

8 III. Overview of Significant Board Activities for Fiscal Year 2012 During Fiscal Year 2012, the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools continued to move forward with many of the initiatives contained in the Board s five year strategic plan. Some of the significant changes and other activities that took place during FY 2012 included: Administrative Rule Review During FY2012 the Board completed the review of twenty-three administrative rules: Definition of Terms Exempt Universities, Courses, Schools or Colleges Change of Address Name of School Renewal of Certificate of Registration Out-of-State Schools Distance Education Programs Equipment and Facilities School Administration Student Enrollment Policies and Practices Tuition and Fees Refunds for Books, Fees and Supplies Advertising, Promotional Literature and Publicity Surety Bonds Program Authorization Program Requirements Miscellaneous fees Annual Report Personal information systems definitions Procedures for accessing confidential personal information Valid reasons for accessing confidential personal information Confidentiality statutes, regulations and rules Restricting and logging access to confidential personal information in computerized personal information systems These rules were subject to review by the Board s rules review committee and the proposed changes were preliminarily approved by the Board at its May, 2011 meeting.

The rules were presented to JCARR at its September 12, 2011 meeting and were effective on November 1,

9 School Oversight The Board and its staff continued to carry out its statutory oversight duties by taking the following actions during FY 2012: $ Issued 1,155 Agent Permits $ Approved 22 New Schools $ Approved 621 New Program, Degrees and Majors $ Renewed 177 Schools $ Renewed 1,374 Programs and Degrees $ Approved 25 Learning Centers Many of these Board actions required on-site visits by consultants and staff and, as a result, the Board s staff and consultants made over 290 site visits to various schools throughout the state during FY

10 IV. Data Analysis for Fiscal Year 2012 Contained below is a report and analysis of the data accumulated by the Board for Fiscal Year This information is presented in an attempt to accurately track the activities of the Board as well as the activities of the schools registered by the Board. The cumulative school data has been compiled from an analysis of the annual reports submitted by each school registered by the Board. A. Registered Schools During FY 2012 there were 322 schools and learning centers registered with the Board. These numbers can be compared with previous years in Table 2 below. TABLE 2: Total Number of Registered Schools Fiscal Year Number of Schools and Learning Centers Of the 322 schools and learning centers registered with the State Board during FY 2012, 170 were accredited by accrediting agencies recognized by the United States Department of Education. The following table is a breakdown of these accredited schools, and their accrediting agency. TABLE 3: Accredited Schools Number of Schools ACCSCT ACICS ABHES REGIONAL OTHER

11 B. School and College Programs and Student Enrollment Pursuant to Ohio Administrative Code Section , the schools and colleges regulated by the Board offer four types of registered instructional programs that can range in length from a few days to over four years: 1. Certificate Program means generally one or more technical courses usually completed in one to twenty-six weeks, normally with a single skill objective. 2. Diploma Program means a program of instruction offering technical and basic course work. The program generally ranges in length from six hundred to fifteen hundred clock hours; or more than forty but less than ninety quarter credit hours; or more than twenty-seven but less than sixty semester hours. 3. Associate Degree Program means a group of technical, non-technical and general education courses which full-time students may complete in a minimum of two academic years, six to eight academic quarters, or four semesters. 4. Advanced Degree Program means a program of instruction at the baccalaureate, masters or doctorate level of instruction that is approved by the Ohio Board of Regents pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section During FY 2012, Ohio s career colleges and schools offered a total of 2,077 programs. A breakdown of those programs is contained in Table 4 below. TABLE 4: Programs Offered by Ohio Career Colleges and Schools Programs Advanced Degree Associate Degree Diploma Certificate Total Programs 1,306 1,404 1,542 1,788 1,876 2,077 11

12 In addition to Ohio based schools, the Board also registers approximately 50 schools that are located out-of-state, but that have registered agents recruiting in Ohio. Table 5 below lists the number of programs (2,787) offered by both in-state and registered out-of-state schools. TABLE 5: FY 2012 Programs Offered by All Registered Colleges and Schools Programs In-State Out-of-State Total Degree Level ,428 Diploma Level Certificate Level Total Programs 2, ,787 During FY 2012, registered career colleges and schools enrolled 85,220 students in programs approved by the Board. Table 6 shows a breakdown of students enrolled at each program level.

13 C. Employment After Graduation Placement statistics compiled in this report indicate that 75% of the individuals who completed their education during FY 2012 found employment following their graduation. Ohio s career colleges and schools have been of great assistance in helping unemployed adults to find jobs. Some of the schools work closely with government agencies like WIA and Vocational Rehabilitation, and in some cases, employers, to assist in paying the cost of these training programs. Through this effort, career colleges and schools are removing some people from public assistance and once again making them taxpayers. The following table indicates the general placement activities of the schools registered with the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools. TABLE 8: Employment Statistics Type of Program Degree Programs Diploma Programs Certificate Programs Total All Programs Completions 9,603 9,588 7,684 26,875 Employed Related 5,260 5,472 5,059 15,791 Employed Un-Related ,209 Not Employed 2,297 2, ,859 Not Available for Placement 1,627 1,161 1,194 3,982 Employment Rate 71% 70% 84% 75% 13

14 D. School Employees Another part of the economic impact of registered schools is the employment the schools provide for Ohioans. During FY 2012, career colleges and schools provided employment for 7,505 Ohio citizens with total wages of over $235,271,366. School employees can be categorized as Administrative, Faculty, Professional, and Other (general support staff). The following table provides a picture of employees that are employed to operate and teach in the schools that are registered with the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools.

15 E. Economic Impact on Ohio TABLE 10: Economic Impact Year Number of Schools Total Annual Wages Paid Gross School Income Gross School Expenditures $123,755,860 $369,183,581 $290,241, $139,843,110 $422,150,614 $335,418, $160,830,067 $499,726,134 $382,603, $209,561,324 $646,610,924 $473,575, $222,469,345 $763,729,723 $547,935, $248,642,506 $789,446,146 $605,488, $235,271,366 $642,804,294 $610,123,756 Ohio s 305 registered career colleges and schools provided education and training to over 85,220 students during FY Over 26,000 students graduated during the period. Career college and school graduates make a continuing contribution to the economy because of their improved productivity. Graduates of these institutions have higher personal incomes and pay more taxes. Career colleges and schools also make an economic impact through their expenditures as they are businesses that pay salaries, buy goods and services from other businesses and pay taxes to the local, state and federal government. The well-established model developed by the American Council on Education indicates that, for colleges and universities, every dollar in total operating expenditures generates approximately $1.20 of local economic activity after taking a "multiplier" of expenditure cycles into account. 1 Using this calculation we can estimate that career colleges and schools in Ohio generated more than $730 million of local economic activity during FY We can also estimate using these same calculations that these schools contributed more than $65 million as institutions in taxes to support the local, state, and federal government. (This figure excludes income taxes paid by employees on their salaries.) Finally, using calculations derived from an economic study of private schools in 1 See Hodgin, Robert "Estimating the Impact of a College or University on the Local Economy". American Council on Education, October

16 California, we can estimate the total additional education costs that Ohio would incur if career colleges and schools did not exist and other public and private institutions were forced to absorb the students currently attending these schools. Using the calculations from the California study, we estimate that it would have been necessary for the state to appropriate an additional $100 million for higher education during FY 2012 to cover the costs of educating students currently attending Ohio s career colleges and schools. V. Fiscal Analysis of Board Activities A. Revenue and Expenditures The Board s revenue is generated from fee schedules adopted and approved by the Board. The following table shows a five-year comparison of revenue and expenditures. TABLE 11 Fiscal Year Earned Revenue $646,945 $800,474 $895,516 $1,101,520 $916,645 Expenditures $496,950 $551,721 $489,579 $498,609 $546,079 Excess Revenue $149,995 $248,753 $405,937 $602,911 $370,566 Following a statutory change that was effective at the beginning of FY 2004, the Board no longer receives GRF funding and became essentially self-funded. All Board revenue is now deposited in a rotary fund (the 4K9 fund) and all Board expenditures derive from that fund as well. 16

17 VI. Division of Investigation and School Compliance The following report is intended to provide an overview of investigative activity initiated by the Division of Investigation and School Compliance during FY The report contains statistical data regarding the volume of complaints and an outline of public action taken by the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools. Complaints are broken down as follows: 1. Student Complaints 2. Non-Registered Schools 3. Investigative Inquiries In addition to these categories, the Division of Investigation and School Compliance, is also responsible for public information requests and assisting in responding to general correspondence and other inquiries received by the Board. The increase in complaints in FY can be attributed mainly to an increasing numbers of students and programs. That number of student complaints for each year is listed in the chart below. Chart 2 Number of Student Complaints Numer of Complaints Year 17

18 A. FY 2012 Statistical Data During FY 2012, the Division of Investigation and School Compliance initiated a total of 87 cases, categorized as follows: TABLE 12 Fiscal Year Student Complaints Non-Registered Schools Inquiries Total The total number of complaints received in FY 2012 is consistent with previous years and the complaints, for the most part, represented isolated problems between individual students and schools. Most complaints are normally resolved by achieving voluntary compliance from the schools. The nature of the complaints that were received in FY 2012 can be broken down into the following general headings: TABLE 13 Allegation Number of Complaints Concerns with education/instruction 11 Failure to make a proper refund 7 Unfair school administrative policies 14 Financial aid problems 13 Involuntary dismissal issues 12 Admissions problems 10 Clinical / Placement Issues 8 Advertising/Recruiting Issues 4 For more detailed information about specific complaints, please contact the Board offices. 18

19 VII. Student Tuition Recovery Authority A. General Responsibility The Student Tuition Recovery Authority ("STRA") and the Student Tuition Recovery Fund ( STRF ) came into existence in The purpose of the Authority is to protect students of any school registered by the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools from tuition loss for the term as a result of a school closure. The STRA disburses monetary awards from the STRF to students who were enrolled in institutions that went out of business and did not return to those students their pre-paid tuition or provide a means of completing their program of instruction up to the amount of their pre-paid tuition. The STRA consists of five members (2 ex-officio): 1. The Executive Director of the State Board of Career Colleges and Schools; 2. The Executive Director of the Ohio Association of Career Colleges and Schools; 3. The Treasurer of the State or his/her designee; 4. The Chairman of the Senate Committee that primarily deals with education (ex-officio member); and 5. The Chairman of the Committee of the House of Representatives that primarily deals with education (ex-officio member). Each registered school is required to pay an annual assessment into the STRF, based on each school s prior year s gross tuition receipts. The State Board of Career Colleges and Schools has the responsibility to collect these funds and may pursue any lawful means of assuring that students of any school registered by the Board do not suffer tuition loss as a result of a business failure or other default of a school. B. Fiscal Year 2012 Activity During FY 2012, the STRA did not receive any student claims. The total balance contained in the Student Tuition Recovery Fund at the end of FY 2012 was $1,266,
