An article that should make us angry

Alan Collinge pointed this one out and he commented about it towards the bottom:

  1. For-profit and non-profit schools are both living large off of the backs of student debtors. I also fault the state universities. They are CLEARLY contributing to the problem of massive student debt. Public schools keep increasing tuition sharply.

    I get tired of people claiming that non-profit schools are somehow more ethical or benign than for-profit diploma mills. These institutions are labeled as "non-profit." This is merely a political designation, for tax purporses. Look up the massive endowments of some of these places, and tell me they are not in this for the money.

    Hell, at least the for-profit pigs are honest about their intentions, i.e. to rake in lots of money.
