Anthony James Guida Jr

My practice is focused on issues relating to federal and state higher education law, licensing and accreditation, mergers, acquisitions and other substantive changes; government response and crisis management, federal and state higher education policy; and government affairs.

I previously served in senior executive positions with two major publicly traded companies that owned and operated colleges and universities on multiple platforms, where my responsibilities included regulatory affairs and compliance, acquisitions and divestitures, government and public affairs, policy, strategic planning, new campus development, and public relations. I also served as CFO and general counsel for a small proprietary college. Prior to joining the higher education industry more than 15 years ago, I was a partner in the litigation section of a large regional law firm.

I currently serve on the Board of Trustees of a private non-profit university and previously served on the board of directors of a national association representing proprietary schools. I have previously served on the Advisory Committee on Student Financial Assistance, which was created by Congress to serve as an independent source of advice and counsel to Congress and the Secretary of Education on student financial aid policy.
