Internet Colleges

For-profit internet schools, also known as career colleges, are doing well. Politicians often complain such schools are making too much money. Politicos love educational mendicants they can support by throwing taxpayer funds at them.

The fact that internet schools are growing is an indication their students are getting value for tuition.

Conventional colleges, which often are mismanaged, tend to lose money. They are thus highly subsidized by government as a result. Conventional schools must also continually solicit needed funds from alumni.

Conventional colleges actually can be run as a for-profit business, and teach students properly. They can, as I have noted before in my comments, rid themselves pf archaic tenure and other management foibles.
