For-profit universities have been around a long time. What is it about them now that creates a greater concern? For many years, for-profit universities were the Rodney Dangerfields of higher education. They were the trade schools, the certificate programs, and whatever else. They were always viewed as second class. Despite huge changes, they are still viewed with some suspicion. They still struggle, as Rodney Dangerfield did, to get respect. But things are changing, and changing fast. I have four reasons to worry about the growing influence and power of the for-profit world of higher education.
