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.
