Austen seems to be working exceptionally hard to get around the fact that they're operating illegally in CA. California laws are often garbage (overbearing, ill conceived, whatever) but damn is it frustrating to see so many vulnerable students saddle themselves with so much debt in pursuit of making a stable living.

You mean trying to fix the fact?

As far as I've seen (Allred comments on HN), Allred/Lambda certainy test the boundaries of law and enforcement, but Allred is consistently respectful with CA's rulings, does what CA agencies demand, and keeps the school/"school" open. Yes, Lambda moves fast and breaks rules and pays penalty costs, but they don't deny the legitimacy of the laws and try to weasel out.

>but damn is it frustrating to see so many vulnerable students saddle themselves with so much debt in pursuit of making a stable living.

It sounds like you're talking about traditional American colleges with this criticism, not Lambda school. I'm confused.
