According to the Los Angeles Times, enrollment at for-profits DeVry University and the University of Phoenix is down by more than 20% at both institutions, a signal of trouble in the wake of the closure of Corinthians Colleges and ITT Technical Institute. The proliferation of online degree offerings at traditional universities, paired with the federal crackdown on fraudulent recruiting and false job placement data promotion, have siphoned more than 70% of students away from DeVry in the last six years. Community colleges and other institutions are beginning to see enrollment benefits as a result of the for-profit closures.
