California Funds For-Profit Schools Amid Investigations, Affecting Half of Students

California has been channeling federal workforce funding to for-profit schools, even as many of these institutions face disciplinary actions from state regulators. About half of the California students using federal workforce funding attend these for-profit schools. Despite warnings from California officials about potentially misleading career claims by for-profit schools, these institutions remain on the state's list of recommended job training programs. Concerns have been raised about the impact on students, who may be left with significant debt and no job prospects. The situation highlights issues with accountability and oversight in the allocation of federal education funds.
