No full textWith assistance, the St. Mary’s University School of Law, the Summer Skills Enhancement Program (SSEP) was established more than twenty years ago to “create[ ] an opportunity for a very limited number of applicants, who otherwise might not be admitted, to gain acceptance, at the same time that it helps them prepare for the rigors of legal education.” Acceptance into the SSEP does not guarantee acceptance into St. Mary’s University School of Law.

No full textThis Comment seeks to explain the catch-22 experienced by for-profit colleges, address reports of fraud and misrepresentation, and analyze the new Department of Education (DOE) regulations designed to increase the transparency and accountability of for-profit institutions. Part II of this Comment focuses on the business of for-profit education. Part III addresses the issues of fraud and material misrepresentation. Using the new DOE regulations as a roadmap, three areas are considered: (1) misrepresentation in marketing; (2) fraud in connection with the value of the degree; and (3) fraud relating to financial
