For-profit education downgraded: good riddance

Wall Street Zen gives Perdoceo Education a "Hold". This industry deserves a "Sell" for its predatory practices.

For-profit education downgraded: good riddance
FO Take · Score 10

Perdoceo Education, a purveyor of often-dubious for-profit degrees, gets a "Hold" rating. This is hardly a ringing endorsement, yet still too generous. These institutions thrive on student debt and dashed hopes, offering little in return but worthless certifications. Their continued existence is an indictment of our regulatory failures. When will we dismantle this parasitic sector entirely?

The strongest counter

For-profit education fills a vital gap for non-traditional students. These institutions offer flexible learning pathways that traditional universities often neglect, providing essential skills for a dynamic job market.
