Closing
On January 18, 2011, LCB Pittsburgh announced that it would no longer be accepting students, as the school is to be closing. The closing was the result of a combination of events, including the end of the school's lease and political pressure by the Obama administration and Senate Democrats on Career Education Corporation as a for-profit school. (The Department of Education's proposed "gainful employment" rule would deny federal funding to schools with graduates facing high proportions of debt related to their expected salaries.) Current students will be allowed to finish their programs before the school closes its doors at the end of 2012.
