The nation's for-profit colleges are reeling from a series of crackdowns by federal and state regulators.
Most of these colleges get almost all their revenue from public funds - loans and grants students use to pay tuition.
Government officials say they make grand promises to students, and then fail to prepare them for real-world jobs.
One of these for-profit schools, Orange County-based Corinthian Colleges, may be close to collapse.
Last week, Corinthian announced a deal to sell off its campuses in other parts of the country.
That leaves an uncertain future for about 20,000 students in California.
