What one senator doesn't like about a for-profit TV ad
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), a critic of many for-profit colleges, seems to have a problem with the TV commercial above, The Hill reports:
"The ad that just really troubles me shows a lovely young woman who says you can go to college in your pajamas. You don't even have to get out of bed to go to college, and she's got a computer on her bed there. I don't believe anybody should fall for that, but some must, and they end up signing up for these for-profit schools, getting deep in debt with a worthless diploma when it's all over."
