Unit 1: Analyzing & Evaluating Kevin Carey's "Why Do You Think They're Called For-Profit Colleges?"  

 

Pre-reading

  • There is a collection of marketing documents (from the senate inquiry into for profits) and links to advertisements by for-profit
    companies like UPhoenix in this folder. You could ask students to examine some of these as part of their analysis of the context for Carey's text, along with evaluation of it.
  • Have students look up Carey, Clifford and some of the companies referred to - for example, Carey mentions Corinthian College.
    This company has been in the news recently
