Education should lead students out of poverty, not into it

Jeremy Dehn who teaches film and video production at the University of Denver, the for-profit Art Institute of Colorado and the University of Colorado at Denver calls for cracking down on for-profits and investing in two-year colleges. He writes in a New York Times opinion piece:
