Trade ReviewThis book seeks to shed light on a rapidly changing industry. Future Survey 2008 A welcome addition to the often polemical writing about for-profits that has become particularly heated... New Players, Different Game should be added to the library of all interested in current trends in high education. Administrators and faculty members will especially benefit from the clear, balanced presentation of a wealth of information about for-profits. -- Gary A. Berg Journal of Higher Education 2009
