“The University of Phoenix major-domos, John and Peter Spellings, are worth $263.5 million and $574.3 million, respectively. The president of Strayer University is paid $41.9 million a year, 26 times the highest paid presidents of America’s finest colleges and universities.”

The top executives for the top 15 for-profit colleges pulled in $2 billion last year. Two billion dollars, practically all taxpayer money.

And that student loan money?—the default rate at these for-profits is 43 percent!

So, only 22 percent graduate and 43 percent default on the loans, leaving us holding the bag because students have been sold a bill of goods by slick marketers.

You already know all of this if you read University Diaries. Just reminding you.
