    Be sure to watch “Fail State” - great doc on the for profit meltdown and how our higher ed system was compromised by corporate interests.

    A judge has ruled that California can challenge on its refusal to process the claims of cheated Corinthian students. It's past time for these debts to be cancelled.

    Another characteristically nonsensical pronouncement from attacking my friend for his great work at You know you're doing something right when rightwing stenographers for special interests attack you this viciously

    Free college = impractical! Any democratically accountable measures to address college affordability = impractical!

    I guess I missed the part in the proposed regs where ED would investigate aggressive marketing practices. I did see the change that would dismiss evidence when states investigate and sue schools for aggressive practices though …

    Diane Auer Jones of Ed Dept: As nonprofits expand into online education, “We’re seeing that nonprofits use call centers too. ... It doesn’t matter what their tax status is, these aggressive marketing techniques are a problem, and we need to investigate them.”

    Jon Oberg exposed fraud in the student loan system & valiantly fought & won legal battles to hold lenders & bad ED officials accountable. $$$ went back to taxpayers, & Oberg has used his share to support student advocates. He deserves our thanks.

    More breaking news -- is dropping the idea of restricting all borrowers at closed schools from accessing discharges if they were even offered a teach-out plan. "You will not see that in the next NPRM."

    Breaking news out of the distance ed subcommittee , I think -- ED just said it plans to *re-publish an NPRM for borrower defense* rather than publish the rule it started last year. My 50 pages of comments on ED's first attempt last year here:

    Proud to stand with so many others to say to and : ENOUGH! Stop weakening critical protections for students and taxpayers at the insistence of predatory colleges.

    Right. These issues don't fit in neat buckets -- and ED knows that. It's proposing groupings that will almost guarantee no consensus, which means can do whatever it wants to do.

    Now ED proposing how to break up/partition the issues. But there are incredibly important interactions between the various pieces--and risks are exponentially larger.

    If you or someone you know is interested in attending a for-profit college, just don't. I've been directly working with students of these colleges for the past year and it disgusts me to see how these "institutions" target & scam vulnerable students using manipulative techniques.

    Tomorrow begins yet another massive deregulatory effort, and an end-run around Congress, in the shadows of the shutdown. For Republicans who slammed "executive overreach" on consumer protection rules, this is just so rich.
