Indiana is the first state to meet a set of national standards for authorizing distance learning and online colleges from other states.
The benchmarks were developed by the country’s four regional higher-education compacts and several higher-education associations, with financial support from the Lumina Foundation.
The framework, being promoted by the newly formed National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements, is meant to help standardize the patchwork of regulations that states apply to colleges that want to offer online or distance-education courses to students within their borders. Both nonprofit and proprietary institutions have complained that the variety of laws among the states was a costly barrier to doing business in other places.
