Professional Licensing • Accredited College or University • Regulations
Cary v. Bureau of Prof’l Occupational Affairs, PICS Case No. 17-0160 (Pa. Commw. Jan. 31, 2017) McCullough, J. (24 pages).
Bureau of professional and occupational affairs acted arbitrarily and capriciously when it denied petitioner’s application for licensing as a behavior specialist on the grounds that she did not meet the educational requirements because the board did not promulgate any regulation or provide any legitimate rational for choosing CHEA and USDE as the only accrediting bodies for universities. Reversed and remanded for license issuance.
