Without asking about the annual income of this author, may I politely ask what the author thinks of the Bennett study during the Reagan Administration that found that 83 percent of proprietary schools "consistently failed to enforce academic progress standards" and, that of the 1,165 for-profit schools studied, “766 of them has misrepresented themselves during the recruitment process; 533 overstated job placement rates; 366 misrepresented scholarships; and 399 misrepresented themselves in advertising.” ? And, given the let's just say "legally challenged" history of the school written about above, would it be too much to reveal that roughly 92% of all student loans come from the Government? And that the default rate is roughly 15% ? Yeah, sure open enrollment is really great for a sliver of people, especially the owners of proprietary and predatory schools. But does this author know how much of the money brought in to the federal coffers through loan interest is used to fund defaults? And who pays for that?
