Abstract
Throughout this course, I wrote policy memos having to do with the for-profit higher education sector and the various reforms that federal lawmakers are considering adopting on this sector. This policy area has received much attention in the past decade and has led to many contentious discussions and debates regarding the role of proprietary schools in the edcuation market. While many have argued that the scrutiny that for-profit colleges have received is an example of government overreach and unfair political targeting, others see governmnet oversight as just and necessary in order to protect students and consumers from abuses in this education market. Proprietary schools are a component of the larger education reform efforst being studies, debated, and formulated in this most important of policy areas.
