Taking aim at private career education, the Higher Education Act was reauthorized in July of 1992 with restrictions effectively geared toward restricting the private career sector. Title IV institutions were now expected to meet stricter eligibility requirements, with the private career school sector feeling the brunt of these regulations. One of the key consequences obtained from the 1992 reauthorization was that CCA and the sector's accrediting bodies had to be separated into two different organizations whose functions were not interdependent on each other.
