The University of Phoenix alone accounted for $800 million in Pell
Grants in 2012-2013, nearly four times the amount of the largest public institution. Cellini
(2010) shows that increases in the maximum Pell Grant award over the last decade encouraged
for-profit entry, and Cellini and Goldin (2014) document that for-profit Title IV eligible
institutions charge higher tuition than comparable institutions that are not Title IV eligible.

...and you are most likely a blood who's not earned your salary. Where did you do your undergraduate? What was your major?
I got an MBA from UOP and make over 100 grand a year. I guess I must be one of those 'idiots' who can't get hired, lol...
I worked there for years, took one class and dropped afterwards. I knew it would be a waste of my time.
No one needed to complete a study or write a news report about the perceived value of UOP, or any other for-profit for that matter. None of them have standards; learning outcomes are laughable, and employers talk shit about the idiots who graduate from these schools.
I pity the morons who work there now and actually graduated with a BS there. No one will hire you.
