"Representatives of the for-profit higher-education sector packed a lecture hall [in Philadelphia] on Monday for the final of three hearings on the U.S. Education Department's plans to revise several rules affecting proprietary institutions," The Chronicle of Higher Education reports. "Some 30 people signed up to testify at the six-hour hearing, which drew industry analysts from New York and lobbyists from Washington, along with consumer advocates and a trio of representatives of foreign universities. But those who came to the hearing looking for clues into the department's intentions got few. Agency officials asked only a handful of questions and did not comment on any of the recommendations, opting to listen, rather than opine."
