Students at for-profit colleges in California will remain eligible for federal student aid after the state’s Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education closes, on June 30, the U.S. Department of Education will announce soon. State officials had asked the department to answer the eligibility question last fall, after the Republican governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, vetoed a bill that would have provided a one-year extension of the bureau. Governor Schwarzenegger said the bureau was fundamentally flawed. Jane Glickman, a spokeswoman for the department, said that federal law requires only that colleges comply with state laws, not that they be authorized by a state. She said the department would soon issue a written decision on the matter.
