First Report From Research Center Created by U. of Phoenix Attacks Critics of For-Profit Education (Chronicle of Higher Education)

"Two years ago, the founders of the University of Phoenix announced plans to create an independent, nonpartisan research institute to examine meaty educational issues affecting nontraditional students and for-profit higher education," the Chronicle of Higher Education reports. "But for its first report, released Thursday, the Nexus Research and Policy Center has produced a 77-page document that is far longer on advocacy than analysis. The report, 'For-Profit Colleges and Universities: America's Least Cost and Most Efficient System of Higher Education,' sings the praises of the University of Phoenix and other for-profit colleges."

Opinion: No-Nonsense Approach to Attendance Policies Would Cut Defaults (Chronicle of Higher Education)

"My experience teaching at a for-profit college suggests that there's a way to further reduce this difference, if not eliminate it entirely," the Chronicle of Higher Education reports. "It seems to me that the government could reduce the number of defaults if it mandated that participating institutions prescribe, and enforce, no-nonsense attendance policies. This might cut into the income stream of some for-profit colleges, but it would provide welcome relief to the taxpayers who have to pick up the tab for these bad debts."

Consumers Need More Information on Colleges’ Quality and Cost (American Enterprise Institute)

"For market pressure to ensure quality and affordability in higher education, consumers must have not only the power to choose colleges, but also the power to compare those colleges on basic measures of cost and quality," American Enterprise Institute reports. "If prospective students lack the information, ability, or motivation to make decisions on the basis of such comparisons, then the market is unlikely to reward high-quality providers and compel others to improve. Compared with other big investments that we make in life--like buying a house or a car--the higher-education market is information-poor for most consumers, at least when it comes to measures of quality and cost."
