But even if no such compensation is provided by the for-profit colleges to employers, recommending troubled colleges to employees suggests that, at least, these employers are not doing sufficient due diligence about what constitutes a desirable benefit for their workers. Some American Airlines workers might end up worse than when they started if they begin such a chat and utilize these alleged employee benefits. Poke around and you will find many more such arrangements between major employers and for-profit colleges that are under law enforcement investigation. United Airlines employees get the same 10 percent discount as American employees on their own page at the American Intercontinental University site. While some FBI agents may be enrolling at troubled for-profit colleges based on the Bureau's referral, agents also have been involved in raiding fraudulent for-profits and aiding in the criminal prosecution of college operators.
