What a shame -- DeVos and the Trump administration are doing everything they can do to help the proprietary schools flourish, including packing the DOE with industry insiders and lobbyists, and the sector still isn't doing well. Couldn't happen to a nicer group of people!! Maybe people are finally catching on. :) https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/despite-devos-help-for-profit-colleges-yet-to-see-a-rebound/2018/04/07/d2ddc546-3a60-11e8-af3c-2123715f78df_story.html Edited May 10, 2018 by Joe V Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
