The NYTimes barely mentions the data. Here's the original article that talks about the ROI:

I think the most alarming thing is the "For Profit" section of the charts. 40% (of students) don't recoup their cost ever vs 13% in Private and 8% in public.

"For Profit" schools prey on the venerable to take out huge loans for a degree from "City University" or ITT Tech (defunct) with the promise that you could make a lot of money "just like our 1 person we put in all our commercials."

I'm glad a number were shut down, but there are still too many that operate.
