 Upshot that students at the imminently bankrupt Corinthian Colleges will be better off:

The collapse of Corinthian suggests that increased scrutiny and regulation of the for-profit higher education sector are working as intended, even before the rules themselves are finally enacted. For-profit colleges focused on providing adult learners with valuable job skills at an affordable price remain open. Those that fail to serve students well and act as responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars are beginning to close.
