I learned that the Regulatory Triad includes the US Department of Education, the institutional and programmatic accreditors, and the state Regulatory boards and agencies, that all work together to help ensure quality education and outcomes.
1. The US Department of Education: focuses on administering Title IV funding (financial aid), Identify Major issues in education and enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination, and focusing on areas of Misrepresentation to students such as reporting and disclosure requirements designed to prepare graduates for gainful employment.
2. Institutional and Programmatic Accreditors: Accreditors’ primary role, through a series of standards and resources, is to ensure that schools are offering the quality education and training needed for student success.
3. State Governments Boards and Agencies: the primary roles of a state regulatory board and/or agency are to provide authorization for schools to operate and to ensure that the schools under its charge are compliant with the standards set by state law.
I intend to apply it by making sure I share the correct information with students such as licensure rate, graduation rate, and placement rate. I also will familiarize myself with our catalog and share it with students to ensure they have access to written information.
