Third-Party Service Providers:

The Department of Education has made it clear that institutions are legally liable for the actions of their "Third-Party Servicers" and Online Program Managers (OPMs). If an outside agency uses an school-affiliated email to overpromise on credit transferability or job placement, the institution faces the fine. Nonprofit college marketing compliance requires a "trust but verify" approach. SKG’s Christian college compliance monitoring provides an independent layer of oversight, ensuring your external partners aren't creating a "silent" liability that could prevent reputational damage before it starts.
