His piece detailing the Obama’s war on for-profits is here, with quotes from PBC’s Jane S. Shaw. I found this passage especially interesting:

Other measures being considered would link [for-profits’] eligibility [for government money] to a 70 percent program-completion rate and a 70 percent in-field-placement rate after graduation — standards the administration would never dream of requiring of traditional universities. (Imagine the Department of Education telling Big State U to place 70 percent of its “peace studies” grads “in field” or discontinue the program.)

Considering that the average graduation rate for college in general is something like 60 percent, this is an absurd standard indeed.

(Note: I fixed the title and text to read “for-profit” instead of “non-profit.”)
