anyone with a conscious and who really cares about education, would have been out of there at least two years ago. Those left are just bottom feeders.

he came back by sharing a wikipedia link to a bunch of books that, if anyone had a conscience here, they would agree with rather than dismiss as nonsense. Seriously, if you really wanted to discredit camden on any level read some of the books he cited and then disprove their findings with your own quotes and sources-- c'mon people adult it up!

Okay, don't read wikipedia, read the Senate investigation on for profits, or better yet, if you are a recruiter, call everyone you enrolled last year to see where they are now. When you go to work day in and day out and it's your mission to help students but you refuse to take into consideration relevant data then your problem isn't Camden, it's your brain. If things were going so much better for students since operations went into blackout you'd think these corporations would be shouting it from the roof tops. Things haven't gotten better, they've gotten worse.

What's hysterical is that none of you slackers are doing anything but s---ing off the taxpayers t!t but still can make fun of Camden for using Wikipedia. Completely phucking novel!

Camden it is obvious you have no life...... trying to find self worth by targeting EDMC on this rather restrictively read site. If you really want to create impact you need a bigger audience.....

@KM5QXmI-gzb, some people cannot be convinced--no matter what sources are provided. It's called "motivated reasoning." The people here call it "drinking the Kool-Aid."

The Wikipedia entries about EDMC are based on a mountain information, including NCES data and other government sources. As for for-profit colleges being dead, are you hoping that I'll go away because for-profit colleges have been facing difficult headwinds after having limited oversight from the 1980s to 2010?

If you want sources, please read these books:

@I-gxb. You are so right.

Let's see. South University Savannah online with a six year graduation rate of 2%.

How's that for a calling card. Now what is it that you do?

Dahn we've seen those ones before that barely mention non-profits. The idea that a journalist shouldn't be using Wikipedia is that you should be providing sources that back up your assertions beyond Wikipedia which you typically don't do.

We all get it. You want to stir stuff up here but there's just about nothing left. I think that's why people are asking that you turn your focus on the non-profit force of nature that consistently raises tuition and has percentage wise far out-raised cost when compared to the for-profits. Why are they not lambasted for handing out degrees that are near worthless like one in history for example or even liberal arts but are putting students 100k in debt.

@KM5QXmI-fzg, forget that it's Wikipedia. What facts (and their sources) are wrong in these articles? And what's a better source for learning about EDMC and its schools?

I never thought I'd see the day a journalist would be citing and using Wikipedia as fact. Yet you do it constantly. There is no good fight here, there is no inside info, the for-profit industry will be gone in 5 years regardless of what you or anyone else does.

Switch your efforts to holding non-profits accountable. That's the real battle.
