Ed Dept brokered 90/10 rule changes

They bought the respective schools (in the case of Purdue, for $1) but with a long-term (15-30 year, if I remember correctly) agreement with one of the for-profit entities to do all of the marketing and other services in exchange for a large % of the tuition.  There was a well-researched article about this, and the greater trend; I'll see if I can track it down and post it.

Brandman itself may be nonprofit, but the same arrangement with the for-profit educational services company applies. If it was already nonprofit, it is curious why the affiliation change.

Edit: I could not quickly find the podcast that delved into the details in depth, but did find these articles which describe the structure and the problems with it:
