[quote]  Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is planning to rollback an Obama-era crackdown on for-profit colleges that leave students in debt and with poor job opportunities, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Trump administration officials have said Obama's "gainful employment" provision, which never fully went into effect, unfairly targets for-profit colleges.

Schools that offered career-training programs would have been required to publish data about their graduates under the rule, and federal aid could have been cut off to schools that had high student debt post-graduation, potentially shutting down thousands of programs...The Trump Education Department has largely dismantled the team that was responsible for investigating abuses by for-profit colleges.[/quote]

Gosh, I wonder if this had anything to do with the lawsuit against of Trump U and the subsequent closing of his scam university.[/quote]

The for profit college problem is a direct result of the government's involvement in student loans.
Neither Trump nor DeVos created the student loan problem or the for profit college problem.[/quote]
Obama tried to make sure those for profit colleges show that they are able to perform, ie, students were getting jobs after graduating from there.  Trump/Devos wants to remove that regulation because "it's unfair" for profit colleges.

Your mental gymnastics isn't wowing anyone.[/quote]

Without guaranteed student loans, with no consideration of major or ability to pay them back, for profit colleges would not have become the predatory institutions they were. They saw free government money for them, all they had to do was sign students up. The government caused the problem. Your inability to understand that isn't wowing anyone.

Obama was attempting to put in a fix without fixing the problem. And provided further reason why when the gov't created the problem, we should be skeptical of the gov't's ability to fix the problem.[/quote]
