U.S. industry trade — pro-private-postsecondary-education
CAPPS is a California industry trade association, not a traditional news outlet — its website publishes news and commentary on behalf of private postsecondary schools, including for-profit colleges. Its content consistently reflects the interests of its member institutions, which broadly benefit from deregulation of higher education. The Trump administration's second-term rollback of student-protection rules and its skepticism toward accreditation oversight align closely with CAPPS's longstanding lobbying positions.
Owned byMember-governed nonprofit trade association; no single corporate owner. Led by Executive Director Robert Johnson since 1998.
