In 2012, EDMC made its Canadian campus, the wholly-owned Art Institute of Vancouver, a satellite campus of another EDMC school, the Art Institute of Phoenix. "Ex EDMC," an anonymous commenter on one of my articles on Huffington Post, wrote last September that EDMC undertook this merger "in order to prevent AI Phoenix and its many satellite campuses from exceeding the 90% of revenue from U.S. government student loan threshold." The poster added, "Approximately 90% of The Art Institute of Vancouver's students are from Canada and none are eligible for U.S. government student loans (Title IV) for now." The commenter claimed the merger was "an intentional and apparently unethically [sic] attempt by EDMC to circumvent the 90/10 rule." Ex EDMC concluded, "It is unclear why the U.S. Dept. of Education would allow any U.S. school to simply designate a foreign school with no Title IV funded students as a U.S. satellite campus in order to avoid being held accountable to the 90/10 rule." (Ex EDMC posted a nearly identical comment on this website. The comments were hiding in plain site until a former for-profit college student, who is engaged in exposing the misdeeds of this industry, pointed them out to me.) (Source)

EDMC's SEC disclosure forms do show that the Art Institute of Vancouver switched from being an independent campus accredited by a Canadian agency in 2010-11 to being a satellite of the Phoenix campus and thus accredited by the U.S. Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), at least by the time of a September 12, 2012, SEC filing.
