Interesting, and I'm not sure what to make of this: "the University of Phoenix became the first college in the history of the United States to take in more than a billion dollars worth of Pell Grants disbursements in a single academic year." More and more government money is pouring into private institutions. "The general growth in the proprietary sector is astounding," writes Ben Miller (who by 'proprietary' means 'private'). "For-profits received $7.34 billion in the 2009-10 academic year, or 70 percent more than they got the year prior. The sector took in $44 million less in 2009-10 than it did in the prior two years combined."
