Many of the for-profit schools have had this policy in place for a long time. I know because I taught in several of them.

The results are just what you expect. The students don't complete the degree because they can't do the work and they can't get jobs for the same reason.

My wife was a lecturer for a local college that specialized in providing masters degrees to cops and teachers. After her first semester the administration called her on the carpet and told her she needed to go easy on the students because they have jobs and need the degrees to get promotions and the like. She told him that they that they can't read, can't write, can't spell, can't think, and do not study enough to know the course material that they are being tested for. She told him that she will grade accordingly. She was fired on the spot.

Now just think. As taxpayers we are paying higher salaries for cops and school administrators because they got degrees from such schools and the holders of these degrees are as dumb as the day they enrolled. Degrees mean little these days unless they are from reputable Universities and backed by performance.
