Description
Explores how higher education can become an engine of social inequality. More than two million students are enrolled in for-profit colleges, from the small family-run operations to the behemoths brandished on billboards, subway ads, and late-night commercials. These schools have been around just as long as their bucolic not-for-profit counterparts, yet little is known about why they have expanded so rapidly.
