I was floored when I found out that DeVry University still had a branch at 29 Palms after they were involved in deceiving students for years. They eventually settled with the FTC for $100M. https://collegemeltdown.blogspot.com/2019/01/deceived-by-devry.html

Too many predatory schools out there. Greed got the best of them.
Because they are allowed to be on post to provide tutoring and education support to students receiving tuition assistance. They are not supposed to recruit or enroll students from those locations, though. They are nationally accredited so they are allowed to receive tuition assistance and GI Bill payments. They don’t compare favorably to other colleges and universities though.

I added “nationally” here when I meant to say only accredited. Jade Redmond is correct. They are accredited and thus allowed to tutor and provide assistance on base but not to recruit or enroll.
