And as the number of students answering ads from billboards and daytime television commercials increases, so does the federal student aid to for-profits, which soared to a record $26.5 billion this year. The government is paying close attention. Stories of relentless recruiters, crippling debt and useless job training are common among unhappy graduates, many of whom are minorities, women and first-generation college students.
