Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools October 30, 2018 **REVISED November 12, 2018** VIA E-MAIL AND OVERNIGHT DELIVERY [email protected] Mr. Stuart Reed Chief Executive Officer Education Corporation of America 3660 Grandview Parkway, Suite 300 Birmingham, AL 35243 Subject: Show-Cause Directive – Financial Adverse RE: Virginia College, LLC, Birmingham, Alabama - 00016224 (C) Dear Mr. Reed: On October 18, 2018, ACICS received a copy (attached) of the Complaint filed by Education Corporation of America (ECA), et al. against the United States Department of Education seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and the appointment of a receiver in order to enable the continued provision of educational activities to the approximate 20,000 students at its institutions without interruption or disruption. The complaint reveals that ECA, which includes Virginia College, LLC and all of its institutions, has experienced financial difficulties that have resulted in lawsuits and threatened exercise of remedies by its creditors. A copy of ECA’s emergency motion seeking relief was also provided to ACICS. Additionally, on November 7, 2018, ACICS received a copy (attached) of the notification from the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) transferring ECA from the Heightened Cash Monitoring 1 (HCM1) method of payment to the Heightened Cash Monitoring 2 (HCM2) method of payment effective immediately. Based on this action, ACICS has revised the terms of its October 30, 2018 show-cause letter as reflected below. As stipulated in Section 3-1-203 of the Accreditation Criteria, the ongoing financial stability of ECA, and how it materially affects the ongoing operations of Virginia College, Brightwood College, Brightwood Career Institute, Ecotech Institute, and Golf Academy of America campuses, is of serious concern to the Council. Council Action Therefore, the Executive Committee, acting on behalf of the Council, has acted to direct Education Corporation of America to show cause in-person, at its December 2018 meeting, why the accreditation of all its institutions should not be withdrawn. 750 First Street, NE, Suite 980 ● Washington, DC 20002-4223 ● t – 202.336.6780 ● f – 202.842.2593 ● www.acics.org ACCREDITING COUNCIL FOR INDEPENDENT COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS Mr. Stuart Reed November 12, 2018 Page 2 of 5 The institution must provide the appropriate in-person show-cause review fee, as outlined in the Hearing/Review Fees section of the “Schedule of Fees” on the ACICS website, and notification of its intent to respond in-person, within ten (10) business days of receipt of this notice, by November 27, 2018. As a result of the institution’s previous submission of the in- writing review fee, the amount due at this time is the difference between the in-writing and in-person fees. Failure to respond in accordance with these instructions will be considered a deviation from the directives of ACICS and result in a withdrawal by suspension action in accordance with Section 2-3-402 of the Accreditation Criteria. In response to the show-cause directive, the organization must submit the following information via the online Show-Cause Application no later than November 27, 2018: 1. An explanation with appropriate and relevant documentation for each of the bases upon which ECA seeks relief in its Complaint and emergency motion, including, but not limited to, ECA’s capital structure, Landlord obligations, regulatory requirements, restructuring plan and any other precipitating factors to this lawsuit. 2. An explanation of and relevant documents related to the current status of the Complaint against the United States Department of Education and ECA’s emergency motion. In your response, include all communication concerning the matter with the Department of Education. 3. A summary of and relevant documents related to the current status of any landlord, vendor, or other creditor action(s) pending against ECA and/or any of its institutions, as well as, any such action(s) threatened but not yet filed. 4. A report outlining each ACICS-accredited institution’s status regarding participation in Title IV funding programs which includes any actual or potential limitations, suspensions, or terminations from any Title IV funding source for whatever reason, and the organization’s plans for dealing with any potential or actual interruption of Title IV revenues. 5. A full description of the depth and breadth of the organization’s efforts to mitigate incurred losses and facilitate a positive net income including, but not limited to, campus closures, programs in teach-out, and operational changes. 6. A Quarterly Financial Report (QFR) completed on Council forms (found here: http://www.acics.org/accreditation/content.aspx?id=4508) for the cumulative 9 months ended September 30, 2018, for the corporation. Mr. Stuart Reed November 12, 2018 Page 3 of 5 7. Links to the webpages of all campuses where the show-cause directive has been posted, as well as copies of the notice to current and prospective students regarding the show- cause status of all institutions under the Virginia College, LLC ownership. 8. All documentation related to the Department of Education’s recent decision to place the institution on HCM2 and the actions taken by the institution to comply. One hard copy of your response and one electronic copy via the Show-Cause application in the Virginia College, LLC corporate account must be received by the date indicated above. Failure to provide all information requested by the Council may result in the withdrawal of accreditation of the institutions. Institutional Teach-Out Plan Further, in compliance with Section 2-3-230 of the Accreditation Criteria, the institutions must submit, via the Show-Cause application, Institutional teach-out plans for the Brightwood College and Brightwood Career Institute campuses (a teach out plan is already on file for the Virginia College institution) which include the following: a. A listing of students with the student name; program of study; expected graduation date; and status of unearned tuition, refunds due, and current account balance for each student. b. A listing of comparable programs offered at other nearby institutions in the event that teach-out agreements or transfer arrangements are needed for students to complete their programs elsewhere. c. An identified custodian for all permanent academic records and contact information for this individual or entity, as well as the process by which students can obtain their records, in case of closure. d. A description of the financial resources available to ensure that students can complete their programs or receive refunds if the institution does cease operations. The Council notes that the following campuses are currently in teach-out and have submitted a campus closure application to ACICS. As such, teach-out plans are not required: 1.

    Contents Leadership Message.......................................... 3 Member Institutions ........................................ 12 Financial Audit Report ...................................... 24 Leadership Message from Chair Dr. Lawrence Leak It has been an honor to serve as the chair of the Council and the ACICS Board of Directors this year. As a public member of the Council, I view taking the reins as chair as a signal to the greater higher education community that the ACICS leadership is an independent and diverse body of thinkers. As for my background, I am a lifelong educator with a professional career that spans the elementary, secondary, and postsecondary continuum. In retirement since 2008, I dedicate my service time as an independent public board member to the Historic St. Mary’s City Commission, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, and to ACICS. Without a doubt, 2016 has been challenging year for ACICS. It has been satisfying to work and serve with so many who are committed to strengthening ACICS. Very early in 2016, the ACICS Council began adopting sweeping changes to our organizational structure, culture, accreditation guidelines, and accreditation practices. All these efforts are done to improve ACICS's effectiveness as an accreditor, enhance the quality of our member institutions, and to protect the students who enroll at the institutions that earn ACICS accreditation. Below, I provide a recap of the major accreditation criteria changes adopted by the ACICS Council and the significant material events/activities that took place in 2016. Major Accreditation Criteria Changes Adopted by the ACICS Council in 2016 The following accreditation criteria changes are effective July 1, 2016, unless otherwise noted: Definition of Academic Quality.
