"Not too long ago, I came across a distressing statistic reported by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development: The U.S. ranks 10th in the world in percentage of adults between the ages of 25 and 34 who hold a postsecondary-education credential. Higher education is essential to our country’s economic recovery and long-term growth. It is a catalyst for industrial innovation, and it strengthens the ability of American workers to compete globally.

We need a system that is robust and nimble. Without further burdening strained public budgets, we must develop additional educational access. Private investment capital is an important source of funding that, together with public and philanthropic sources, will help pay for our growing education and workforce needs. Market-funded schools, like those in the DeVry family, respond to this need for increased access with education innovations such as online learning and class schedules that accommodate those who must work while attending college. We serve students who have been historically underrepresented at traditional colleges and universities: working adults, minority and immigrant families, and those who are the first generation of their family to attend college.

Market-funded institutions today help to educate 2.25 million students, or 9 percent of total U.S. postsecondary enrollment, expanding educational access, opportunity and career success. For example, the U.S. has an acute shortage of nursing-school capacity. Our Chamberlain College of Nursing has added four new campuses in the past three years. We have increased the number without a public bond issue, a fund-raising campaign or higher taxes, because our growth is funded through private investment. Likewise, our Ross University School of Medicine helps close the gap between the 26,000 hospital residency positions that open up each year and the 16,500 physicians graduating annually from U.S.-based medical schools. In fact, Ross provides the U.S. residency system with more physicians than any other medical school in the world.

Proprietary institutions such as those operated by DeVry are goal-oriented: Only by preparing graduates to meet the growing shortage of skilled health-care and technology workers are we able to stay in business. Our results speak for themselves: Since 1975, 90 percent of DeVry University graduates systemwide in the active job market were employed in their field within six months of graduation.

We have also been innovators in public-private education partnerships like the DeVry University Advantage Academy, where high school students earn both a high school diploma and an associate degree at no extra cost. This program has been extremely successful in helping urban students obtain a college degree: The Chicago Advantage Academy graduation rate is 89 percent, compared with 54 percent for the Chicago public schools. In Columbus, Ohio, the program has a 100 percent graduation rate.

The success of our graduates is also achieved through educational partnerships with corporations. Earlier this year, for example, we began partnering with IBM Corp. (IBM) on a new Enterprise Computing track within the DeVry University Computer Information Systems bachelor’s degree program. The new track provides students with critical computing skills designed to meet the increased demands of IBM clients and business partners.

Market-funded higher education is responsive to the workforce and to the innovation requirements of business. It is a vital component of a system of higher education that serves the nation’s long-term economic interests."

Quoted from Daniel Hamburger, president and CEO of DeVry Inc.

Oops, I thought this was the Blackwater thread, my bad! Whatever, I haven't really been playing in this thread, either.

I think we all need a break for some new material before we get get any decent heat going again.

I heard your wife left your sorry ass? WHERE IS YOUR MISTWALKER

[Alawen Everywhere]

My wife won the Mistwalker in the divorce settlement. I also have to pay her 10K PP per month in alimony.
