We have all seen the commercials online for some for profit colleges and in Washington D.C there was a hearing about these for profit colleges and funding. This agenda is on the decision agenda it has gone to legislation and is being debated about by congressman. Senator Harkings committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions did a study and found that many students left with no education and large amount of debt. According to this article one school made 2.7 billion dollars, with 85% of their funding coming from the government.
This issue comes with lots of government debate, it regards this type of education that some of the population needs, but it is making a large profit when other colleges such as Indiana University sometimes struggle to make ends meet.
