For-Profit Group's Report on Veteran Education




Today I am posting this report because I feel it should not be overlooked (download from link)

“A task force convened by the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities, which is the primary trade group of the for-profit sector, today issued a report on how colleges can better serve students who are veterans or active-duty members of the U.S. military. The recommended "best practices" touch on career services, pedagogy and student recruitment. Steve Gunderson, the association's president, said the report should be useful to all of higher education. The association plans to release three other reports on quality standards in coming months, he said” (http://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2013/02/27/profit-groups-report-veteran-education).

Please and chime in because this should be an important higher education topic

  1. The report is just so much more lip service from a sector that wants to continue to ride the Federal gravy train. By the very nature of their business model, for-profit colleges exist solely to make money (and large quantities of it from taxpayers)and perform only for SHAREHOLDERS. NOT STUDENTS.
