This power allows the Minister to revoke approval when a provider fails to meet quality standards, breaches its conditions, or is no longer fit to offer higher education.\n\n**When it applies:**\nThe revocation takes effect on 23 April 2010."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-shafston-ins","history":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-shafston-ins/history","analysis":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-shafston-ins/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-shafston-ins/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-shafston-ins/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/higher-education-support-act-2003-revocation-of-approval-as-a-higher-education-provider-shafston-ins/documents"}}
