Summary This series is centered on the business of for-profit education. The first of two main articles took a broad look at the issue, and at Leigh Valley College in particular. The second focused on the school's financial impact on students. It examined the relationship between the country's no.2 education company, Career Education Corp, and the country's no.1 student loan provider, Sallie Mae. The article concluded that LVC is setting students up for a spiral of debt. Subsequent articles followed the impact of the first two.
