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!

It would be better for the government to stop funding these
colleges, until they could show that they were worthy.
You don’t need a license to be worthy necessarily.
Also, what about licensing the state schools with their
useless degrees, like gender studies, cinema, creative
writing....those all could be folded into sociology or
fine arts....get rid of most of the intercollegiate sports
too. Replace that with competitive cardiovascular conditioning
instead...same benefit for the athlete.

Last time I checked, the papers issued by public universities were worth less than those of private universities in the job market.

Yea, some people go to purely religious schools but people who freely choose them and the vocations they teach aren’t exactly in it for the money.

No one is under a deception that they go to Bob Jones to become a millionaire businessman.

Anyway, wasn’t it President Nothing who just a year ago or so was preaching at us that going into public service was far more important than succeeding in private business?

Uhhh....shouldn’t this come from the Congress? They are the ones authorizing the expediture. How does the DOE have the power to make the allocation more restrictive?

This could actually be a blessing in disguise. Schools such as Notre Dame, Yale and Harvard which are not operated according to their charters could have fraud raised against them in the state licensing tribunals.

This is one of these laws in the nature of “be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it”.
