Plain-English Summary
The proposal would eliminate a federal rule that requires for-profit colleges to get at least 10 percent of their revenue from sources other than federal student aid programs. Removing this rule would allow proprietary schools to rely almost entirely on government-funded student loans and grants to operate, which could make it easier for these schools to expand but might increase the risk that federal money goes to lower-quality educational programs.
