United States Department of Education officials did not participate in illegal lobbying when they urged higher education leaders to openly endorse legislation to revamp student loan programs in 2009, according to a report filed by the department's inspector general, Inside Higher Ed reported. The investigation was conducted in response to accusations made by Republicans in Congress that department leaders violated federal law during their interactions with college officials regarding the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act. This act, which passed in March 2010, expanded the criteria for the lender-based guaranteed student loan program and increased financing for the federal Pell Grant Program, Inside Higher Ed reported. Republican leaders attempting to block the act's passage said that it represented a government takeover of the student loan program, according to the article.

Protests against the British government's plans to increase tuition and cut government financing for universities became violent on Wednesday, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. Fights broke out with police when several dozen students broke into Conservative Party headquarters in central London. The student union condemned the break-in, saying the perpetrators were "violent idiots" who were "undermining" the general message of approximately 50,000 protestors. Thousands of protestors have occupied the concourse in front of the headquarters and lit a giant bonfire, the London Evening Standard reported. Britain's main student and faculty unions also organized a march. Liberal Democrats who joined with Conservative party members to create a coalition government in May had pledged before the last election in May to oppose any plans to raise tuition. The student union has vowed to hold them to that promise.

Two for-profit educational institutions, Argosy University and Bridgepoint Education, which were formerly accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, are now seeking accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, The Chronicle of Higher Education reported. The North Central Association has recently issued stricter accreditation standards for the institutions it oversees, although officials from Argosy, Bridgepoint and the accrediting agencies all cited geography as the main motivation for the institutions' plans to switch to the Western Association, which oversees institutions in California and Hawaii, according to The Chronicle. California has emerged as a growing market for for-profit educational institutions, which Argosy officials cite as their reasoning for switching accreditation agencies, and Bridgepoint has administrative offices in San Diego. While Argosy is currently in the final stages of being approved, Bridgepoint has just begun applying for accreditation and could obtain it as early as this summer.
