  • Stealing America's Future How For-Profit Colleges Scam Taxpayers and Ruin Students' Lives
    e-book to be published online Monday, March 31, 2014 Stealing America's Future How For-Profit Colleges Scam Taxpayers and Ruin Students' Lives David Halperin Is it possible, in our country today, to defraud and ruin the financial futures of hundreds of thousands of Americans, receive tens of billions of taxpayer dollars each year to do it, and then, once caught, find a way to keep doing it? In the case of America’s for-profit college industry, we may soon find out. In the past five years, Americans have become increasingly aware that many for-profit colleges – the career training schools that bombard TV, websites, and city buses with slick advertisements promising high- paying careers – are a bad deal for students, and that some of them are simply scams. These schools have been caught luring students with false promises about the cost of programs and the value of degrees – and then leaving them unemployed and deep in debt. Unfortunately, it's possible that a cycle of corruption built into our political system may allow these institutions to keep abusing students for another generation. Government officials have an opportunity right now to stop that cycle and protect students, as well as U.S. taxpayers. But it remains uncertain if they will do so. There are some responsible, quality for-profit colleges that work to help their students train for careers. But many for-profit colleges are instead systematically wrecking the lives of the students who enroll -- veterans, single mothers, immigrants, and other low-income and middle- class people striving to build better futures.
