The Higher Learning Commission accredits some great schools, and a few very questionable schools.

I see that you state that for-profit colleges are substandard, but have no links or substantiation beyond your claim. What do you base this on?
You mention in another thread that some veterans end up with enormous debt and in your article you mention the University of Colorado as a great school compared to Colorado Technical University. I compared both of those schools when going for my Master degree in Information Security. Both offered an online program and equivalent courses with the same number of credit hours. After adding in the $500 fee for the online courses for UC, CTU won the price war by $200. CTU also had an agreement with CompTia that gave me a $50 discount on testing for my Security +.

"They are pushing harder for instructors to just pass students through with no real effort now. Seems worse than ever.

Thanks for this, It is interesting reading and I see there have been a lot of changes since I got my Masters there.
When I was in school there, Career Education had owned the school for only a couple of years and was expanding their online classes. My program was a hybrid with a mix of online and in class experience.
One of our instructors, I now work with and he has complained about the poor quality of incoming freshmen who can not read at a 6th grade level, and he was being pressured to pass then. I am still in touch with the faculty of CSU-Pueblo, where I got my BS in 1998. They complain about the same issue of high school graduates needng remedial training to perform college-level work. The fact that they graduated high school and cannot read at a 6th grade level is not a failing of CTU or any other college. It is a failing of our K-12 system.
