Industry Reviews
My story is not just one chapter in this book, but a collection of many. More than anything, I was affected by predatory lending at ITT after my admissions advisor signed my name to Navient student loans without my knowledge or permission. I am still fighting to have the loan taken off my credit, but neither ITT nor Navient will listen to me. Degrees of Deception gives me a voice to finally be heard. Read this book and avoid making the same mistake I did. -- Vicki Plunkett, former student, ITT Technical Institute
This is a MUST read. Meticulous and powerful research gives voice to the many student victims who are trapped by charlatans selling the American dream for profit. Degrees of Deception brings much needed light into this politically dark corner of private enterprise. It offers hope for justice and accountability to victims who suffered dreams broken by greed. An important rock thrown by a brave David at a Goliath of a deceptive industry. -- Patricia O'Grady, Ph.D., former Dean, Argosy University
Kevin Connell's book, Degrees of Deception, is a chivalrous book-a zeitgeist. It maps my own victimization with eerie precision. I feel vindicated now that these colleges are finally getting their 'over' due. My recruiter shamelessly HOOK, LINE, and SINKERed me at a critically vulnerable time when I was a full time caregiver for my dying husband who had been sick for 16 years with a devastating illness. This college struck and blind-sided me, taking with them all our residual savings and secured two loans to insure a future parasitic drain that can never be recouped. -- Rose E. Grier, former student at Argosy University
