Firm's push for students draws critics -Rob Kaiser, Chicago Tribune

At offices of Hoffman Estates-based Career Education Corp., more than 1,000 employees pound the phones, each seeking to reach 150 prospects a day and enroll at least four students for its online school per week... Career Education runs the fast-growing American InterContinential University (AIU) online school, along with 82 mostly trade-oriented schools with physical campuses, such as the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago.
