Politicians in the Florida legislature love to regulate public schools, demanding accountability. But now we learn that the politicians have been busy deregulating for-profit colleges while sweeping in campaign contributions from these institutions and their sponsors."The rules are different for for-profit colleges. Despite fraud lawsuits and government investigations involving for-profit colleges all over the country, Florida's Legislature continues to encourage the industry's growth while reducing quality standards and oversight. Florida's attorney general has been less aggressive than some counterparts in pursuing the schools when they skirt laws involving the hundreds of millions they receive in state and federal money." |
