In a recent episode of "The Colbert Report," host Stephen Colbert took a look at the
increasing scrutiny of
for-profit higher education. Declaring his interest in the sector, Colbert announced his new for-profit school, Stephen Colbert "University" -- "the number one place for higher 'education'." Admission requirements include access to the Internet and either one letter of recommendation from Benjamin Franklin or 2 from Ulysses S. Grant. The institution offers programs in fields such as nurse impersonator, grave-robber, VCR repair, Googler, and Stephen Colbert organ farm. At SCU, its proprietor states, "we put the 'U' in 'we make money off you'."
