Frontline special on For-Profit Education
A Frontline documentary on for-profit education airs on PBS on Tuesday night. The program, "College Inc.", features educational entrepreneur Michael Clifford, who owns Grand Canyon University, among others. According to a post in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the documentary includes an interview with a former admissions officer from Ashford University who discusses the expectation that "enrollment advisers" (i.e., sales reps) make 150 calls per day to prospective students and "close on at least 12 students a month."
