In Victory for Corporatized Education, Federal Court Strikes Down Regulation of For-Profit Colleges

In Victory for Corporatized Education, Federal Court Strikes Down Regulation of For-Profit Colleges
"If America, like most industrialized nations, had no-cost universal access to public institutions of higher learning for all students, there would be no need for private colleges that cater to the poor and disenfranchised. But this will involve more than a court battle. It will necessitate that an informed and active citizenry force the Department of Justice, the state attorneys general and the Security and Exchange Commission to begin to do their job of prosecuting those persons and organizations responsible for breaking US law. Until this happens, there will be nothing but more and more lawyer fees, lobbying costs, court cases and student suicides. All items the for-profit schools look at as "the cost of doing business."
