In an effort to funnel aid to students most in need, it put great weight on counting full-time students with Pell grants, the federal grants aimed at low-income students. This meant for-profits did well. Those career-oriented programs tend to be time-intensive and costly, leading more students to attend full-time and to take out federal loans.
The fact that half the money going to for-profits can be used for institutional costs concerns critics like Ben Miller, vice president for postsecondary education at the left-leaning Center for American Progress think tank.“A dollar that goes to the operating expenses of a for-profit college is a dollar that doesn’t go to helping a community college student pay rent,” Miller said. “I don't think that makes sense.”There’s no doubt that students at for-profits are in need.
“We win because we serve lower income people,” said Steve Gunderson, president and CEO of Career Education Colleges and Universities, or CECU, a trade group that represents for-profit and career colleges.
There are a lot of problems with the cares act. Most can be attributed to the speed it was written. It was nearly unanimously approved, to blame either party for how it plays out is a stupid game.

Ask a democrat
An analysis finds that for-profit schools have gotten proportionally more money from the aid package than the nation’s community colleges, which serve the majority of the country’s low-income students — often at a much lower cost. (2/8)
