      interesting tuition model, but it doesn't sound like a good deal for students at disreputable schools.

      Coding boot camps have always looked like a scam to me. It's taken me years to learn what I know about programming, getting it all in a few months just doesn't seem possible.

      Income Sharing Agreements sound like a really interesting model for providing access to education, but of course it only works if potential students have access to the real performance metrics of the school. Excellent reporting here exposing this fraud.

      It seems like there are some shady actors here. When legitimate people won't act, shady ones will. I like the model, I wish our public universities would take a similar one. They are backed by government dollars, so why not put their money where their mouth is instead of forcing students to take out onerous student loans?

      Coding boot camps seem super sketchy.
