Many state colleges have low 6 year graduation rates too (as they vary widely), should they be shut down too? Is there any reason 25% or 30% are unacceptable, but 50% is fine?[1]

- makomk 10y agoA 50% graduation rate is literally double a 25% graduation rate. You're arguing that the only reason for the US government to care about the fact that students at for-profit institutions are half as likely to graduate is because they've got a grudge against them, as though this is some minor difference that no-one should care about.
- ajkjk 10y agoAnd, sure, a 50% graduation rate at a state college is a big problem that should be investigated as well. But it's definitely not true that "all of the state colleges" have this problem, whereas it (as least seems to be) ubiquitous among for-profit schools.
