We should, however, be concerned because the cost is spreading. Having finally reached the limits of American parents to bear ever-increasing bills for undergraduate tuition, struggling colleges are now turning to graduate programs to fund their operations. Indeed, schools often encourage graduate students’ naïve faith, painting a rosy picture of future employment prospects that is, to say the very least, highly selective.

Seems that it is using the usual example of low rank JD and MBA programs that rank conscious employers are less likely to hire from.

Interesting to see that the economy has recovered enough to have questionable MBA and law programs back in action.
