The College Trap

As a former Academic Dean for Strayer University, James Wilcox, Jr. was alarmed at how many students did not know about accreditation. No one had ever talked to them about early college programs or even taking courses before stepping foot on a college campus. He grew weary of students saying that they wish they would have talked to him before they enrolled at certain colleges. James Wilcox, Jr. was angered by how colleges took advantage of low-income and first-generation college students. Many of these students trusted admissions officers. However, little did they know that they were just a meal-ticket and a salary increase for a dishonest admissions counselor.
