Elements In Different Texts

• “For-Profit Colleges Deserve Some Respect,” by Seiden
• Element that extends: “For-profit institutions, with their relatively open admissions requirements and flexible course scheduling, have been in the forefront of providing those people with renewed opportunities to gain a meaningful college degree.” (Seiden)
• “For-Profit Colleges, Vulnerable G.I.’s,” by Holly Perteaus
• Element that extends: “… between 2006 and 2010, the money received in military education benefits by just 20 for-profit companies soared to an estimated $521.2 million from $66.6 million… This gives for-profit colleges an incentive to see service members as nothing more than dollar signs in uniform…” (Perteaus)
• “For-Profit Recruiters and the ‘Pain Funnel.’”  by Jack Conway
• Element that challenges: “The for-profit colleges have been more aggressive than the non-profit colleges, but both are equally guilty of making promises that could never be fulfilled, using government loans and grants to generate revenue - all the while boasting about their effectiveness and independence. Both sectors need to be held accountable, and it only makes sense to begin with the colleges with the highest default rates. Can we please have a little common sense here? If Congress would stop "listening" to the lobbyists, something could be done.” (DDH)
