The Obama Administration has conducted a running assault on for-profit colleges, so it’s notable when a target survives. On Friday the Pentagon removed the University of Phoenix, which enrolls about 9,300 service members, from probation after a three-month detention. In October the Defense Department blocked Phoenix from enrolling new students using military tuition assistance and from sponsoring job training or “any recruitment-type activities” on military bases. Probation was a disproportionate use of force.
