ITT Tech is the latest for-profit institution facing challenges - Mark Muckenfuss, Press Enterprise

Another major for-profit college system appears to be in trouble. ITT Technical Institute, which operates 130 campuses in 38 states, including sites in San Bernardino, San Dimas and Corona, is struggling in the aftermath of demands by the Department of Education. The federal agency has come down hard on a number of for-profit schools in recent years, demanding that they cease misleading recruitment practices and the misreporting of graduation and success rates. Those moves have resulted in major players dropping out of the business. Last year, Corinthian Colleges, which had 28 campuses, including Everest Colleges in San Bernardino and Ontario, shut down after it was fined $30 million by the Department of Education. http://www.pe.com/articles/college-810465-students-campuses.html
