To what extent exactly should these vulnerable people take personal responsibility?
I mean once they showed up and realized it wasn't a real college and they weren't being taught anything, that would have been the appropriate time to protest and try to get their money back, rather than staying for another 2-4 years to get the degree and hoping that no one notices that they didn't actually learn anything.
Why didn't you mention that these colleges need to take some responsibility as well?
They should, but in this case they already got shut down. My feelings about for-profit colleges are basically the same as my feelings on the military. I.e. the military shouldn't be tricking kids into enlisting, but that that still doesn't give soldiers a free pass for going over to the middle east and killing innocent people.
I mean once they showed up and realized it wasn't a real college and they weren't being taught anything, that would have been the appropriate time to protest [etc]
The people signing up were probably not those best prepared to evaluate the quality of schooling. It might have seemed a continuation what they saw in high school
