Thread (forgive the duplicates):

Faced with growing bipartisan support for strengthening 90/10 rule to better protect US @studentvets & @GIBillRights, Sen. Enzi introduced bill to gum up the works to benefit GOP patron for-profit college industry. Enzi must have been proud of bill to drop it right before holiday https://t.co/vPXfpDnFa7

In November Senate education committee chair Lamar Alexander backed bipartisan Carper-Lankford-Cassidy-Tester bill to close the 90-10 loophole that has pushed predatory for-profit colleges to deceptively recruit and exploit US vets & service members. https://t.co/Qsng461q0X

In response, Sen. Enzi has fallen back on an old @CECUed for-profit college lobbying trick: Demand, without any sound basis in policy or evidence, that a law apply to ALL colleges, not just for-profit, in hopes of scuttling the rule entirely.

Over a 10-year policy fight resulting from widespread waste, fraud & abuse by for-profit colleges, the industry has made millions in campaign contributions to friendly members of Congress in hopes of buying their support & blocking accountability measures. https://t.co/muP0mNBDO2

Here's @CECUed lobbyist Mike Dakduk bragging online that he lobbied Enzi re the 90/10 rule, which CECU wants to weaken so even poor-performing for-profit colleges can get greater access to vets, servicemembers, and taxpayer dollars. pic.twitter.com/S5xGR8A4kw

This page shows the scores of recent & ongoing federal & state law enforcement actions and investigations against for-profit colleges — for lying to students, lying to govt, stealing taxpayer $$s, etc. https://t.co/tPmBMmtUWx

So yeah, for-profit colleges, with industry reputation in tatters, are nowhere near done trying to get rid of accountability rules. With @BetsyDeVos running @usedgov, and ex-head of scam Trump University running America, they have mostly gotten their way. https://t.co/jY7tQk3OLe

Sen. Enzi memorably led a walkout of Republican senators from a HELP committee hearing where then-chairman @SenatorHarkin was presenting overwhelming evidence of for-profit college fraud & abuse. You can see it in @FailStateMovie https://t.co/DOakcAbe16
