<p>I made an online inquiry about Phoenix a few years ago, for myself. That resulted in a number of high pressure sales calls in which my questions about cost and credit transferability were never answered to my satisfaction. I’m a reasonably intelligent adult who finally saw through the sham and when the sales rep knew I did, he stopped calling. That experience left a bad taste in my mouth even before the recent investigations into the practices of for-profit colleges.</p>
<p>That said, closing the buildings and leaving the much larger online business in place doesn’t seem that momentous a development.</p>
