Action taken against 60 private colleges
Action had been taken against almost 60 private colleges for the past three years for various offences including failing to report to the authorities regarding their foreign students who had skipped lectures for a long period.
Private donations to US colleges and universities dropped a sharp 11.9% in the recessionary year of 2009 from the previous year to $27.85 billion, according to the Voluntary Support of Education Survey released this week by the Council for Aid to Education.
