Abstact:
For-profit universities have made millions of dollars in revenue by targeting vulnerable, low-income and minority populations. With deceptive tactics for-profit recruitment personnel pressure students into enrollment. Recruiters, however, are pressed to act ruthless by their own administrators. A hierarchy of intimidation
is created in which for-profit directors press employees to relentlessly target and take advantage of low-income and inner city students. Low-income students are left repaying debt to the for profit companies for the rest of their lives, oppressed into a life of poverty and limited social movement.
