Good Job, CNN and hats off to the GAO. I was a victim of U of P's deceptive loan practices and placed in collection. Commented to the President via the White House's web site, Good Job GAO and Mr. President for investigating!
Lots of hype,promises of a career,Low cost of a degree most of it being funded by taxpayers.This isn't any different from most colleges across the country.
@jaydenfre2413 "For-profit colleges", as the title mentions, don't receive much (or any at all, in many cases) money from federal funds. Schools that receive taxpayer funding, like University of Texas for example, have a lot of restrictions and controls in place on how that taxpayer funding is spent, as well as a large number of regulations and requirements.
@basmithtx THose Yes "For-Profit-Colleges" do receive government funds in student grants.A university sells student loans from a bank and it's easy to see they raise the costs at those schools constantly for the only purpose of fattening up the student loan, it's easily proven the degree is worthless in both cases.No less of a scam,just a different one.
@webDes33 If you're referring to cronyism, that's not itself capitalism. It's a result of government being huge and too powerful... it happens in just about any form of government.
The for- profit industry scam is a horror that no one else should be subject to. If you or anyone you know has a story they are willing to share in order to stop this from happening to others please submit your comments to Campus Progress. You can do this by going to the Campus Progress website, at the top, in the 'hot topics' sections click for- profit colleges, and then click tell your story on the right hand side of the screen. Thank you!
In hopes that students from these schools might be able to submit their information into an online database. Just go to the Campus Progress website and click "for profit colleges" then scroll down and click "submit your story"
@bpstick The disclaimer at the start of CNN videos say the ads are "provided by Turner on behalf of Turner", so not Youtube. That said, I'm sure there's some sort of arrangement in place.
