The decision also has the potential to hasten the consolidation of the for-profit college sector as it could drive out of business many schools that lose access to student loans as well as students leery of attending schools under the regulatory microscope. The move could mean the sector, already in decline amid tightening federal regulation, "will implode even faster," said Trace Urdan, managing director at Credit Suisse and a longtime analyst of the for-profit college industry.
