From article: "...For-profit institutions like the University of Phoenix aggressively recruit veterans, only to leave them with depleted benefits, sky-high loan debt and no accredited degree to show for it. And to make matters worse, the efforts by Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos to rollback recently enacted protections at the federal level will only make it harder for veterans to protect themselves and seek remediation...."

I'm pretty sure even the University of Phoenix is regionally accredited by the Higher Lerning Commission and has been for over 40 years.
I understand the effort to protect veterans and their benefits, but I also wonder what else goes into these types of instances where issues arise.
I only know a few people who have enrolled in the University of Phoenix or similar online for profit schools, and every single one of them did it because they thought it was an easier alternative to traditional university.
I'm not saying they were wrong, but I think that mind set leads to poor decisions that hurt everyone involved.
I guess work hard and dont try to take the easy way out.
