The dirty 15: GAO finds deceptive practices at 15 for-profit colleges

[Hannah Bell]

Presenting the findings of the GAO investigation was Gregory D. Kutz, the office’s managing director of forensic audits and special investigations at the Government Accountability Office. In testimony made more powerful by the brief undercover video clips that punctuated it, Kutz detailed “deceptive or completely questionable” practices at all 15 institutions.

The colleges the GAO visited were not a totally random sample, Kutz said, but they were not institutions where his office or the Education Department were already aware of fraud. “It gives you an indication that this is much more widespread than a few bad actors.”

They sent people to apply/ask questions & the schools lied. see the video: "counselors" saying things like "I owe $85K to the university of florida. will i pay it back? probably not. i look at life a little differently from most people". watch the end of the video: they are scum.

really amazing, bordering on personally abusive. like high pressure car salesmen.
