Just listened to the Fail State doc..
Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S64WANCgMek
I don't think there is anything new in it, but listening to those stories is disheartening. I would hope high school and the army would start educating their people about accreditation an the difference in the type of universities. A big part is predatory marketing, uninformed people trusting the system without looking at the numbers themselves.
Interesting to see again that for-profit universities pioneered a lot of online education but also kind of gave it a bad reputation that is just starting to fade away.
Can the US have a reputable for-profit system over the long term? I kind of doubt it, regulation can be cut and we get into the spiral of profits.
