California lawmakers working on how to stop fraud at for-profit colleges had to face the reality Tuesday that pushing the regulators to increase protections may end up costing students higher tuition.
While legislators pushed for the Bureau for Private and Postsecondary Education to do a better job, bureau officials revealed that it can do so only by increasing fees to the schools they oversee by, in some cases, more than 1,000%. Such fees are routinely passed on to students, officials said.

Bay Area community colleges are expected to receive tens of millions of dollars in relief money from the recently passed American Rescue Plan, Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, said Monday.
The $1.9 trillion stimulus package, which President Joe Biden signed last week, provides some $40 billion to higher education institutions, about $2.2 billion of which will benefit California s community colleges and their students.
In the Bay Area, that will translate to eight-figure investments in post-secondary education, Eshoo said Monday during a briefing with community college officials.

San Francisco s Board of Supervisors will decide on Tuesday whether to allow a Ferris wheel at Golden Gate Park s Music Concourse to stay for another year, instead of the four-year extension proposed by the city s Historic Preservation Commission.
The Board of Supervisors will consider the resolution after the supervisors Rules Committee voted unanimously on Monday to bring it to the full board for a vote.
Earlier this month, the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission approved extending the stay of the 150-foot-tall SkyStar Observation Wheel through 2025, in order to reinvigorate the city s post-pandemic economy and help offset SkyStar s financial loss.
