Thread regarding Education Management Corporation layoffs

The reason why military members are attractive to for-profit colleges is because their benefits don't count toward the proprietary colleges' cap on federal Department of Education funding. The law says for-profit colleges must get 10 percent of their funding from other sources besides federal student loans or Pell Grants, but with the GI Bill loophole, they can secure 100 percent of their funding from the federal government. And, for every veteran they sign up, they can recruit nine more equivalent students who have federal student loans or grants.
