Published in partnership with Protect Borrowers, Project on Predatory Student Lending, and Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, this report offers a snapshot of Black student enrollment and outcomes at for-profit colleges paired with the perspectives of Black alumni of for-profit undergraduate and graduate programs. By drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data, this resource examines Black students’ reflections on their decisions to attend for-profit schools, personal experiences while enrolled, and levels of satisfaction.
Based on these findings, the report highlights opportunities for state attorneys general to protect defrauded students and borrowers by investigating the problematic behaviors that occur far too often at for-profit colleges.
