The following press release was published by the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions on Dec. 14, 2010. It is reproduced in full below.

The files contain audio recordings of 26 visits to 13 for-profit schools in 2010. GAO visited each school twice, posing once as an applicant who was eligible to receive both grants and loans (Scenario 1), and once as an applicant with a salary and assets that would qualify the applicant only for unsubsidized loans (Scenario 2).
