Main Claims of Carey

There are many reasons why Carey believes that there are problems with for-profits but his three main claims from the first half of his text are that most of the money is coming from the federal government, growing numbers of graduates are having trouble paying back their loans, and that aggressive recruiters are wrongfully persuading students to sign up for classes knowing that they will not be able to afford payments. Carey provides evidence for his claim that most of the money going to for-profits are coming from the federal government by introducing Pell Grants and subsidized student loans. He introduces horror stories about the many graduate and currently enrolled students that are stuck paying endless amounts of debt that they will never be able to pay off. There is evidence for the aggressive recruiters because Carey talks about how the Obama administration has proposed cutting off federal aid to for-profits that trick students into enrolling.
There are a few claims that Carey makes that state that for-profits are not all bad. Some of the reasons why people are attracted to for-profits are because of the thing that for-profits offer that public universities do not, such as their easy accessibility, evening classes, and regional accreditation.
One element that I would like to investigate is how the very few positives of for-profit schools so easily persuades people into enrolling into classes they cannot afford.
