Breakthrough! A summer project at @tcfdotorg has been to work with a data consultant to mine an obscure and complex @usedgov database to see if it reveals info abt colleges. It does! Latest update compared to past data shows:

Art Keiser lectures fellow #NACIQI members for probing accreditors they are supposed to review, following intense discussion yesterday of ACCSC, which accredited many predatory schools. Keiser missed the session because his own for-profit school, Southeastern, is ACCSC-accredited

Finally: accreditation! EVERY single student I spoke to mentioned they explicitly looked for it. Maybe it’s time to make accreditation the seal of approval the public thinks it is.

.@usedgov last month released for-profit college 90-10 data. For 2018-19. It's again missing Perdoceo's AIU & CTU. Why? It's missing Grand Canyon, which ED says is still for-profit. It's missing CEHE schools, which ED declared for-profit until 12-18... studentaid.gov/data-center/s…

Exactly. Six decades after #BrownvBoard, the promise of equal education for all remains elusive. But it doesn't have to be that way. A new initiative powered by @TCFdotorg aims to change that: the Bridges Collaborative. Check it out: tcf.org/bridges-collaborativ…

66 years ago, Brown v. Board of Education said that schools needed to desegregate. Every child, no matter the color of their skin, should be able to attend integrated schools & achieve a quality education—but today, many schools are still racially & socioeconomically segregated.

One of the reasons industries are so short on cash right now is that they have spent billions buying back their own stocks instead of investing in their workers and saving for a rainy day. That needs to be addressed NOW.

We also applaud @NYGovCuomo for proposing state protections for student veterans. As @nytopinion wrote in December, Congress should act to close the 90/10 loophole—but New York can also act to protect student veterans from predatory for-profit colleges. nytimes.com/2019/12/31/opini…

Replying to @EdDebtJustice @BetsyDeVosED @usedgov
The malfeasance of @BetsyDevosED continues to shock us. @usedgov has collected on students in violation of court order TO THIS DAY, and collected >$20 million from students following the injunction.
