Kaplan Suspends a Dental-Assistant Program in North Carolina and Reimburses Students

February 1, 2012, 4:58 am

Kaplan College has surrendered its license to operate a dental-assistant program at its Charlotte, N.C., campus, and the company says it is paying “well over $1 million” on tuition refunds to about 200 former students of the program, The Charlotte Observer reported. Those steps came in the wake of complaints to state agencies alleging that Kaplan had misled students about the credentials they would earn. Janice Block, Kaplan’s chief national compliance officer, said there had been no attempt to mislead students, yet “a misunderstanding occurred.” The North Carolina Board of Community Colleges had been investigating the program but ended its inquiry after Kaplan asked to have its operating authority withdrawn, the newspaper said. A second investigation, by the state attorney general’s office, is continuing.

While I bear Kaplan little more ill-will than any other for profit diploma mill, I do hope this is a trend for all the for profits out there. It would be nice to see the scurrilousness of profit-motive removed as much as possible from academics.

Attorney’s-General throughout the US, take close note. This reimbursement action should be a legal reguirement in every State and applied to every scamming for-profit fraud mill. The foregoing defination covers 98% of the For-Profits.
