I can’t make time to write this week, but here are a few threads I posted on issues, regarding predatory college operations, that investigators and reporters might explore.

Purdue University Global (Kaplan Inc.)

Here’s @purdueglobal, owned by Purdue but operated by Kaplan/@grahamholdings, misleading the public that it’s the same school as the @LifeAtPurdue U ranked by a survey. In terms of legal entity, educational quality, & much else, it’s not. h/t @USinjustice https://t.co/Sk7wDEgX9S pic.twitter.com/AcEWakFyu1

Perdoceo (American Intercontinental University / Colorado Technical University:

Perdoceo just spent $40m to buy non-Title IV California Southern U, probably to address 90-10 shortfall. They love CSU so much that on the earnings call neither the CEO nor CFO knew where the school is based. Reviews suggest some unhappy CSU students. https://t.co/XYOmBvLxlv pic.twitter.com/IAY9PyIMKh

Zovio/University of Arizona Global:

UAGC prez Pastorek says UAGC “has helped to supervise the Zovio employees working on UAGC’s programs for 18 months, &…would make wise decisions about which ones to hire.”
Zovio 10-Q: “UAGC hired substantially all of the UAGC Services Business employees (as determined by UAGC)” https://t.co/nsau8cVOVV
