If an institution is certified to accept guaranteed student loans, it's incumbent on that institution to perform at some minimal level. It would appear there is no authority available to certify or decertify the schools that are established for but one purpose -- cash checks from loan granting institutions.

Not to defend the schools in question, but I can see that establishing standards for that minimum level of performance might be pretty difficult. I hate to admit it, but in googling a bit, I find that the schools I've slandered appear to do pretty well at placing their graduates, at least in some degree areas (nursing, paralegal, and some others). I wonder whether traditional colleges do better? What other ways are there to measure the worth of an education? I've studied such things, but I'd have to say the results usually are less than impressive. I've been through rigorous accreditation processes, and they don't guarantee much, imo. kj.
