    Student enrollment at U of Phoenix parent Apollo Group nose-dived 42% in the 3rd quarter of 2010. Investors learned that company executives believe it is only the beginning.

The falling new student enrollment appears to reflect the company's struggle to financially adjust to new rules that bar for-profit schools from paying admission counselors based on how many students they enroll.

Student Loan Intelligence
  • One common peculiarity among U.S. student loans
