sigh I'm really getting sick of these sensationalist and utterly misleading headlines. Once you actually read the article, it becomes very clear that the state is enforcing an old regulation for PHYSICAL schools within the state using online courseware, not the online provider itself.

Regulations like these, put in place with very good reason 20 years ago, take time to update to meet a new reality.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

This whole episode is upsetting and troubling. The Minnesota Office of Higher Education is like a dictatorship that doesn't want to give up control of its domain.
