The government's actions came after public concerns that some of these for-profit colleges were selling students a shoddy product, as their credentials showed little worth in the job market.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This must be straight from Ayn Rand.

Geeze!....Should we focus a laser beam on the “shoddy products”, worthless degrees, and lack of jobs potential of the degrees offered by non-profit colleges ( public, private, and Ivy League)?

Ok?....Should we lift the bandage covering the gangrene called our government K-12 education and the WORTHLESS paper they call a high school diploma? Hold your nose, the smell will half kill you!

[Erik Latranyi]

How long before “worthless” churches are targeted?

What law allows this, what clause of the US Constitution? NONE!

I’m a conservative Christian, but I agree with the DoE on this one. Too many private colleges are con artists pretending to be a college. They make wild promises to young students, sucker them in and then give them nothing worthwhile - just a mountain of debt.

A religious college accepting federal money and teaching secular subjects should face the same scrutiny that a non-religious college getting federal money gets.

Of course, a better solution would be to end federal student grants. Tuition would plummet to a manageable level within a few years, and no regulation would be needed...

It is TIME to DownSize DC! Starting with the U.S. Department of Education (/re-education), including their SWAT team. (they do have one). CLOSE THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT, NOW!

It is TIME.

Does not college accreitation already perform this task? I do not see the need for DOE (could stop right there) to be sticking it's nose in here if the stated purpose were the real purpose.

De-fund, disband, and abolish the US Dept. of Education!
