Congress first capped the amount of taxpayer dollars for-profit colleges could receive at 85 percent in 1992 to crack down on fly-by-night schools making money from student aid programs. The government figured a for-profit school with quality programs should have no trouble deriving at least 15 percent of its revenue from students willing to put up their own money. The for-profit industry fought tirelessly against the rule, which was relaxed six years later as the cap was raised to 90 percent, and military education benefits were exempted.
"These for-profit colleges charge twice as much as regular schools. Students give their Pell Grants, their G.I. Bill benefits and student loans to these schools...more than 90 percent of their revenue comes right out of the federal treasury," Durbin, who plans to introduce separate legislation to reinstitute the 85/15 rule, said in a news conference Wednesday. "It's a little hard to defend."

In a move against what he called “the ethics of payday lending” in higher education, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced Monday that the Education Department would forgive the federal loans of tens of thousands of students who attended Corinthian Colleges, a for-profit college company that closed and filed for bankruptcy last month, amid widespread charges of fraud.
Mr. Duncan also said the department planned to develop a process to allow any student — whether from Corinthian or elsewhere — to be forgiven their loans if they had been defrauded by their colleges.

HARVARD has received its biggest gift in school history — a $514 million ($US400 million) donation from Wall Street hedge fund billionaire and alumnus John Paulson, the university said Wednesday.

Harvard announced Wednesday that the billionaire hedge fund manager John A. Paulson had given a $400 million endowment to support the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences — the largest gift in the university’s history.
Mr. Paulson, 59, a 1980 graduate of Harvard Business School, is the founder of Paulson & Co., a hedge fund that manages $19.5 billion for wealthy individuals and pension funds like the New York State Common Retirement Fund.

If the conservative machine in Raleigh is unable to stifle discussion of poverty, it may still be able to put what was once one of the great and affordable university systems out of reach for many of the state’s aspiring students. “We can’t afford to go to other schools,” a student named Vashti Hinton told me. Hinton’s first-choice school, UNC Charlotte, was already too expensive, so she ended up at A&T, one of the five HBCUs. “I found myself there,” she said. “I met teachers who saw me. They taught me how to be vocal, opinionated, how to have these conversations—to stand up for myself.” That might be exactly what Raleigh is afraid of.

Sweet Briar was founded in 1901 by Indiana Fletcher Williams, a wealthy landowner whose will established an estate — including her sprawling former plantation near Lynchburg, Va. — as a charity for the purpose of educating young women. Sweet Briar’s board stunned students, alumnae and faculty members by announcing in March that the college would close in August as a result of “insurmountable financial difficulties.”
The alumnae argue that the college is a trust and administrators must get court approval to close it. The lower court ruled that Sweet Briar was a corporation, not a trust, and that college officials could close it unilaterally.
The Supreme Court said Tuesday that the college could in fact be both — and instructed the lower court to resolve the question.
“The law of trusts can apply to a corporation,” the justices wrote.
