Will Wall Street Cool on Bridgepoint?
Don, You are all over Bridgepoint Education. It is okay to have your opinion, but when you are misleading the public it is not okay. the Department of Education has requirements concerning graduation rates as well as defaulted loans. There is mention from some of your readers about attending community college, which is certainly an option if you have the time. The difficulty with attending a community college is the time. Most adults are too busy to make time for campus. Also, you cannot get a bachelor degree from a community college. Students are encouraged to attend campus if they have that option. Most adults cannot take a full course load and complete their degree in a normal time frame, thus online schools. In regards to "recruiting" and going to military bases you are not correct. The students have gone online and requested information about school and they get calls from many schools including DeVry, Phoenix, Kaplan, etc., and the student has a choice. If you are speaking of defaults then you may want to look at the type of student that is in default. People do not just end up with debt. If there are funds owed then it is a debt that is incurred by the Department of Education guidelines. Ashford University recently had a couple of thousand students go to the Iowa campus to walk across the stage. One student was over 70 years old. There are many positive stories, Don. This is not a conservative vs. democrat issue except that the government wants more of the funds the for profit schools are making. "Conservatives think anything done by the private sector is good -- even obvious scams." Think about the statements you are misleading the public with. Burwell makes a ludicrous statement "Veterans want the living allowance, not the education." which I find offensive as I am a veteran. Bridgepoint has 2 schools that are regionally accredited. Think about that. if you went to SDSU, Purdue, Harvard, Bridgepoint, they are all regionally accredited. You can get your AA degree at a community college but the BA degree comes from a university. I am not sure if you understand the GDP Bridgepoint provides to San Diego. 2-4th highest employer in San Diego, sponsor Holiday Bowl, Symphony, Padres, and is an employer of thousands. These same employees buy gas, houses, groceries, cars, go to restaurants, and buy clothes. Before you spout out hatred look at the reality. There are issues to be ironed out with any new company and Bridgepoint is moving in the right direction. I know nobody that intentionally tries to be unethical. Your article and the responses are not based on the truth or knowledge of what the topic is. President Obama now goes after the colleges because there is more money to be had by the politicians. These students are the ones that are trying to make their lives better and fraudulent articles like this do not help. They may as well just turn on MSNBC or Jerry Springer for solid information.— May 15, 2012 12:36 p.m.
