Here’s an infographic we saw over at the Washington Post derived from Senator Harkin’s report summed up by ProPublica that gets right to the heart of the matter in three simple acts: For-profits are a massive business, they cost students more, and conclude with a summary of the money trail.

Greetings,
It would be great to update the numbers since 2009. A lot has changed in 3 years. It’s also worth mentioning that community colleges and public colleges/universities are taxpayer-subsidized. For-profits are not, so of course tuition costs more. This also leaves out the fact that for-profits tend to educate adults and the demographics are completely different from “traditional” schools that educate mostly 18-22 year olds. You have to compare apples to apples, and this graphic does not do that. For-profits do a better job than community colleges at graduating adult learners.
