What are you actually planning on doing about any of this? You troll this board and ask for whistleblowing type information, and then you write a few articles generally on the for-profits. This seems largely for your own benefit more than the good of the higher education sector. What positive changes are you actually trying to make to help improve for-profit education, what political or legislative actions are you planning on making happen for the good of our society and the future of intellectual achievement in higher education the US? Or are you simply looking to profit on the shady policies and practices of bad actors in the sector? (Also, are you an Orioles fan? Why “Camden”?)

You must be management material 3gqf, they care about nothing but money. Feel sorry for your colleagues around you, you would probably step on them for a few dollars. I am so glad i got out of that overpriced diploma mill. I found a job that pays well, treats their workers well, and their students too. For those trying to get out of that sh--hole DeFraud, keep trying. I wish you luck.
...I do not care what they do as long as I get paid doing my job....I have bills to pay that all that matters.
I'm sure the students are glad you are there!
That's funny--most of the DVU folks that I talk to are miserable and looking for a new job.
@VCxT9Op-3gqf, you are a contributor to the continued collapse of DeVry.
this has to be another va student, not getting his refund checks on time or a continuous dismissed student, crying about not passing COLL 148 for the 3 time.
Stop trolling fake news - leave that to your nighttime dreams.....Camden!
Who gives a c-ap about your blog or the truth. This is America. Its business is to make money. Period.
Get used to it or go live in Cuba or Venezuela.
I work to make a living. Devry pays very well period. I do not care what they do as long as I get paid doing my job. I am not Mother teresa., I have bills to pay that all that matters.
You want to change the world go live in fantasyland. Most of us are happy and very well compensated working for devry. We treat devry as an income not a spouse that we need to change.
@VCxT9Op-1gui, you won't see the right frame on a mobile device. You have to use a pc.

@VCxT9Op-1gui, I have been involved in organizing within the student debt movement for several years. But sadly, there is limited resistance. The College Meltdown will have to worsen before more people are conscious and bold enough to fight. You can find some of the student debt groups in my blog, on the right side frame.
@VCxT9Op-aue, please explain your response with more detail. My guess is that you cannot.
OP here, I did not post the last response. I am only trying to understand where you are coming from. Did you get burned by a for-profit? If you are passionate about fixing higher ed, take some positive action. Start lobbying or organizing demonstrations or something productive. I know you troll the DCEH board here and you’ve added others in your response. You’ve collected data and made sometime wild suppositions—why not work for positive change through channels that will actually accomplish something, instead of being a voice crying unheard in the wilderness? Also—Baltimore Orioles fab, yes or no? Why did you choose “Camden” as your nickname?
Wiki? Really. Your blog is a joke. What college did you attend? It’s under-educated folks like you that are trying to make $$$$$ from people’s lack of knowledge. In my book I’ll expose you as a fraud.
I am working on cleaning up higher education system with several other people and organizations. Thank goodness there are decent and courageous people in almost every organization who dare to speak the truth.
Our subject matter is not just for-profit colleges but the entire system, which also includes student loan servicers and lead generators. My blog College Meltdown also includes links for people to learn about college choice. Apparently, those links cannot be seen on a phone, but you can see it from a laptop.
