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 shockingly little is known about why they have expanded so rapidly in recent years - during the so-called Wall Street era of for - profit colleges.

Disappointed - Good Info, but lost me in the end

The short review:
Very thorough in her research and analysis.
Very slow narration and was force to play around 1.6x -2.2x speed and could still understand and digest the information.
In the final chapters I felt like it became an advertisement for BLM and the socialist view points of that organization.
Bottom line... for profit colleges, are predatory to low income citizens, educational standards are very low regardless of being listed as bachelors degrees or higher. For profit colleges need reform to increase educational standards and limit their ability to pump through students, for greater profit, and little reward to the student.
