After reading this thread and considering it, the regulations seem fine, but lack of consistency between states seems to be a large pain-pont.
I realize California isn't just "any" state but needing to seek unique approval from up to all 50 states just to run an online school seems like a really high (and expensive) bar.
It would be nice if more states cooperated on things like this. Then you seek approval from the collective, rather than at an individual level.
- austenallred 7y agoThat is accurate
- Kalium 7y agoCalifornia had a rough spot a few decades back with a lot of scammy junk-tier "trade schools". This led to the creation of fairly strong regulatory system in the area.
- cortesoft 7y agoIt looks like the regulation only applies if you have a physical building in California. Since Lambda school is based in California, they have to abide by the law. You don't need all 50 states approval to run an online school, but you will need the approval of the state that you are actually in.
- xmprt 7y agoUntil another state passes a law saying you need to follow their regulations regardless of whether you have a building in the state as long as you're operating there.
- TACIXAT 7y agoIt's the same with money service businesses. There are federal regs, then each state has their own. It sets a huge barrier to entry.
- mychael 7y agoThe "lack of consistency" between state regulations is a feature, not a bug. States are Laboratories of democracy.
- abdulmuhaimin 7y agoit might be a feature, but the side effect of the messy complexity is still a bug
