Interesting editorial on for-profit schools

According to the author, all for-profit schools are diploma mills.

Not particularly interesting at all, just another of the myriad of uninformed opinions written by an opinon editor.

 

Interesting in that I've never seen someone just come out and say that, it's usually implied and danced around.

 

I remember not so long ago a moderator of a group on linked in ) a self-proclaimed grand inquisitor) stated the same things.
Until I pointed to him that there are people who apply the same logic and take it a little further who think that his education was from low tier substandard school,(it wasn't) that in their view is a diploma mill.
And then he excommunicated me from the group.

No-one likes my dancing sheep?

 

Baaaaaaa humbug.

 

I like the perspective of highway signs for Educational institutions (non Profit) vs For Profit.

 

I'd not seeing anywhere in that article where a point was actually made to support the position, other than the randomly cherry picked 9 credits for a 10 week course. As if that is a universal thing going on at every for-profit school. Aren't for-profits lambasted for having low graduation rates? How can you be a mill if barely anyone graduates? If an accreditation body certifies that a for-profit school's courses meet the same standards as a traditional school, how could the for-profit be considered as handing out a fake education?
