CFA urges you to join with the Project on Student Debt to advocate for reforms to how the federal government funds career education.
Current federal law requires career education programs that receive federal student aid to "prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation."
Too many of these programs rope in students with deceptive marketing and aggressive sales tactics, providing substandard training and leaving students deep in debt they can't pay back. By defining "gainful employment" for the first time, the proposed rules finally make it possible to enforce this important law.
The for-profit college industry and its highly paid lobbyists are fighting hard to weaken the proposed rules so exploitative schools can keep profiting off federal student aid. That's why the Obama Administration needs to hear from you!
