Beskrivning

Degrees of Deception explains the development and widespread abuses of the for-profit higher education sector in America. To illustrate the scope and degree of wrongdoing in for-profit higher education, readers are exposed to the industry in the same sequential order that students experience it in reality. A few examples include predatory recruitment, targeting military service members, questionable quality of programs, predatory lending, high withdrawal and default rates, manipulation of job placement data, and strategic lobbying efforts to block comprehensive reform. Following this analysis, Degrees of Deception offers bold and unprecedented solutions to tackle the crisis in a way that protects millions of student victims and taxpayers indefinitely.

Recensioner i media

Provocative, bold, and innovative. Kevin Connell proposes serious reforms to what he believes to be one of the largest problems in higher education today: for-profit colleges and their public financing. In this book, Kevin Connell explains to readers that redirecting federal funds from wasteful for-profit colleges to affordable public higher education alternatives better serves the interests of students and taxpayers.
