Center for Excellence in Higher Education

The Center for Excellence in Higher Education (CEHE) was established in 2006 by a small group of philanthropists who have donated millions of dollars to U.S. colleges and universities and were concerned about the growing challenges facing higher education in America. Its original purpose was to educate the public about the state of higher education in America and help donors promote excellence in higher education through philanthropy.

From 2007 to 2012, CEHE a 501(c)(3) organization operated as a public charity. It conducted a series of research programs and supported faculty interested in improving higher education at universities around the country and internationally. CEHE also engaged in several important research projects, acting in the background to help philanthropists who wanted to promote structural reform of higher education more generally.

In 2012, I merged my colleges, CollegeAmerica, Stevens-Henager College, and California College San Diego, into a 501(c)(3) education organization, CEHE.

CEHE continues to work to make improvements in delivery methods and content in higher education, but rather than focusing that work simply on advocating for change, CEHE, through its colleges, is actively involved in providing educational opportunities to the thousands of students it now serves.

Fighting Back against Oppression

Posted on December 12, 2022December 12, 2022 by Carl Barney

(This is mostly for people who have been following the assault on my colleges and Independence University by the Colorado AG and the Department of Education. Feel free to disregard….) My colleges and Independence University—built over several decades into a student-oriented, high-quality, results-focused institution—were callously destroyed by the Department of Education on the basis of…

Disgraced and Discredited Judge Buchanan

Posted on July 11, 2022July 11, 2022 by Carl Barney

As you can read in my earlier blog posts—Judging Judges, A Bittersweet Legal Victory, and Honor and Dishonor—Judge Ross Buchanan was derelict in his duties, failing to rule in a timely fashion on a really important issue affecting many thousands of people, including students, faculty, and staff of CollegeAmerica and Center for Excellence in Higher…

The Washington Times Editorial

Posted on April 13, 2022April 15, 2022 by Carl Barney

The Washington Times published the editorial: Private career colleges are being destroyed. A few bad actors—predators in government—are committed to destroying private colleges. We intend to hold those responsible accountable. More to come. (If you read comments to The Washington Times article, please know many are written by paid trolls recruited to defame me personally…

Lawsuits, Lessons Learned

Posted on February 5, 2022March 25, 2022 by Carl Barney

I’m writing this to clarify my thinking about lawsuits, to identify the lessons I’ve learned, and for those who may be concerned/interested. My first forays into the legal system were wretched. I didn’t understand the process, I didn’t know what to do, and I lost as much as I won. In desperation, I started to…

Honor and Dishonor

Posted on October 17, 2021January 28, 2022 by Carl Barney

Judges are guardians of the rule of law. They are a bulwark against tyranny and injustice, and consequently, against social collapse. Judges are granted the honorific, “The Honorable Judge.” Being appointed to a judgeship is a sacred honor. When a judge dishonors his position of honor, it is an egregious betrayal of trust. Judge Ross…

Students’ Tragedy

Posted on October 6, 2021January 28, 2022 by Carl Barney

A college abruptly closes, its former students out on the street—literally, in some cases. This may sound like a sad story, but let me assure you that it’s more than sad—it’s truly a tragedy. Most students are not safe and secure in good jobs. They are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet….

A Bittersweet Legal Victory

Posted on September 16, 2021January 28, 2022 by Carl Barney

The Colorado Court of Appeals threw out Judge Ross Buchanan’s opinion against CollegeAmerica and, in an unprecedented action, removed him from the case. See the press release here. There is a political campaign (which began with the Obama administration) to cripple and close private for-profit career colleges and universities. With coordinated attacks originating from Senators…

Three years ago, Eric Juhlin, CEO and Chairman of Center for Excellence in Higher Education (a private nonprofit college group), and I entrusted our reputations, careers, and fortunes to the Colorado judicial system—to the Honorable Ross Buchanan, a Denver district court judge.

Capitalism and Its Demise

Posted on February 12, 2021January 29, 2022 by Carl Barney

Capitalism is under a massive attack today from Sanders, Warren, Ocasio-Cortez, Harris, and our new President, Joe Biden, who writes: It’s way past time we put an end to the idea of shareholder capitalism—the idea that the only responsibility a corporation has is with its shareholders. That’s simply not true. That’s an absolute farce. They…
