New Proposed Rule regarding "Gainful Employment" Precipitates Flood of Comments

The Chronicle of Higher Education reports, http://tinyurl.com/26ppqus, that a proposed new rule tying a school's federal student aid eligibility to a "gainful employment" metric has generated "tens of thousands" of comments to the Department of Education in opposition.  The tide of criticism no doubt arises from an orchestrated campaign by for-profit schools that for too long have tapped into federal student aid without any meaningful proof that the educational programs they sell lead to the successful and lucrative careers they promise.    The Department of Education is to be credited for trying to fix this problem, and the fight over the proposed rule should be closely watched.

If you have concerns about whether a for-profit school with which you are familiar actually creates opportunities for gainful employment for its graduates, share it with The Googasian Firm, P.C.   You can e-mail us at degreefraud@googasian.com.

  1. I was a student of Palm Beach Institute of Technology. Graduated from the ultrasoun program. Applied for a year and still cannot find a job. I could not finish the clinical rotations that they promised. Job recruiters know about this therfore I am in disadvantage against other graduated students. Because I have a Bachelor's in science, Victor ortega told me I woudn't have a problem finding a job because I could sit for the RDMS exams which I did and passed. Hospitals look for students graduated from accredited institution and accredited by CAAHEP Why because they have the 1000 hours of clinical training.Hospitals do not accept students that are not from accredited instituions.There is a big gap between employers requirements and school education especially this type of schools that are popping out and taking peoples money.
