A shocking report from The Atlantic recently revealed that “students pursuing bachelor’s and associate’s degrees at for-profit colleges saw their earnings drop, compared to before they started the program.” This is because most students don’t finish their degrees, and in addition to earning less than when they had started, they became burdened by debt without technical skills.

The sanctions set against ITT Technical Institute have been described as a “death sentence.” In addition to preventing the company from taking federal aid for tuition, the US Department of Education is requiring that ITT increase its reserves from $94.4 million to $247.3 million. The reserves are meant to support students in case the company closes. Students who have already started taking classes can still use federal aid as long as the school remains open. Students that have enrolled in ITT but have not yet started taking classes cannot use federal aid to finance their tuition.

ITT Technical Institute’s recent troubles shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone. A simple Google search about the company reveals former instructors and students flat-out calling the organization a scam. YouTube is also riddled with bad reviews that I discovered just looking for one of the company’s commercials.

Perhaps the saddest part about this entire fiasco is that ITT Technical Institute is just one of dozens privately held and publicly traded companies known as “for-profit colleges.” Companies like Devry, University of Phoenix, and dozens of others are operating by similar principles to ITT Tech.

The Department of Education seems to think otherwise.

I'm having pretty similar feelings about my old college not giving any useful skills for getting work...

I use to remember ITT credits were nontransferable.
