After ultimately failing to do so by the May 31 deadline, it approved the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/2048\" target=\"_blank\">USA Freedom Act, \u003c/a>allowing the surveillance programs to resume, but with new restrictions in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>A little background on the Patriot Act\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The first thing to know about the USA PATRIOT ACT is that the name is actually an acronym for a really long, ridiculous title:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As America scrambled for options in the panicked weeks after the 9/11 attacks, Congress hastily, and nearly unanimously, approved the Patriot Act (Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and East Bay Rep. Barbara Lee were the lone dissenters). Signed into law by President George W. Bush just six weeks after the towers fell, the measure altered the course of national security policy. With the purported goal of protecting American lives above all else, it prioritized security over privacy and, in the view of opponents, threatened threatened fundamental civil liberties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massive \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=https://www.aclu.org/files/FilesPDFs/patriot_text.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">342-page bill\u003c/a> covered a lot of ground. Most controversially, it significantly expanded the government's surveillance reach, broadening its authority to collect personal records, tap phones, monitor Internet activity, and spy on religious and political organizations, often without any evidence of wrongdoing. It also allowed security officials to indefinitely detain foreign suspects not charged with specific crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since its passage, different parts of the law have been challenged by reams of civil liberties groups, who generally argue that certain provisions violate Americans right to privacy as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while some provisions have been struck down by the courts, including indefinite detentions, much of the law has endured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the part of the Patriot Act that’s continued to generate the strongest opposition is Section 215, which facilitates the government's indiscriminate collection of millions of Americans communications records. That, along with two other government surveillance allowances –- the little used \u003ca href=\"https://apps.americanbar.org/natsecurity/patriotdebates/section-206\" target=\"_blank\">“roving wiretap”\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://apps.americanbar.org/natsecurity/patriotdebates/lone-wolf\" target=\"_blank\">“lone wolf”\u003c/a> provisions -- is what faced expiration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hence the recent Senate showdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What’s the big deal with Section 215?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Officially known as \"the business records provision,\" Section 215 has helped government intelligence agencies communications retrieve records from private phone companies (like Verizon) on “any tangible thing\" related to a terrorism investigation, including books, business documents, tax records and library check-out lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of these powers, however, wasn’t publicly known until June 2013, when Edward Snowden, a National Security Administration contractor, leaked thousands of classified documents to \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files\" target=\"_blank\">The Guardian\u003c/a> and Washington Post newspapers. The leak revealed that the NSA had for years been secretly collecting the phone records of millions of Americans, which it in part justified through an interpretation of Section 215.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How does the USA Freedom Act change this?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yet another zany acronym, the bill is officially titled: \"Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection and Online Monitoring Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While maintaining much of the government's robust surveillance powers, the measure most significantly prevents the government's bulk collection of Americans’ phone records. Federal security agencies must now receive special court approval before reviewing personal records held by private communications companies, and are allowed to only conduct specifically targeted searches rather than indiscriminately surveying millions of peoples’ data. In other words, the phone companies still collect our data but the government, unlike before, can't automatically access it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"nyt_video_player\" title=\"New York Times Video - Embed Player\" src=\"http://graphics8.nytimes.com/bcvideo/1.0/iframe/embed.html?videoId=100000003717292&playerType=embed\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>An issue unresolved\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The debate created some interesting, if ephemeral, alliances between certain liberal Democrats and libertarian-leaning Republicans like Sen.

Russ Feingold, D-Wis., and East Bay Rep. Barbara Lee were the lone dissenters). Signed into law by President George W. Bush just six weeks after the towers fell, the measure altered the course of national security policy. With the purported goal of protecting American lives above all else, it prioritized security over privacy and, in the view of opponents, threatened threatened fundamental civil liberties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massive \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/viewerng/viewer?url=https://www.aclu.org/files/FilesPDFs/patriot_text.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">342-page bill\u003c/a> covered a lot of ground. Most controversially, it significantly expanded the government's surveillance reach, broadening its authority to collect personal records, tap phones, monitor Internet activity, and spy on religious and political organizations, often without any evidence of wrongdoing. It also allowed security officials to indefinitely detain foreign suspects not charged with specific crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since its passage, different parts of the law have been challenged by reams of civil liberties groups, who generally argue that certain provisions violate Americans right to privacy as guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while some provisions have been struck down by the courts, including indefinite detentions, much of the law has endured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the part of the Patriot Act that’s continued to generate the strongest opposition is Section 215, which facilitates the government's indiscriminate collection of millions of Americans communications records. That, along with two other government surveillance allowances –- the little used \u003ca href=\"https://apps.americanbar.org/natsecurity/patriotdebates/section-206\" target=\"_blank\">“roving wiretap”\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://apps.americanbar.org/natsecurity/patriotdebates/lone-wolf\" target=\"_blank\">“lone wolf”\u003c/a> provisions -- is what faced expiration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hence the recent Senate showdown.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What’s the big deal with Section 215?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Officially known as \"the business records provision,\" Section 215 has helped government intelligence agencies communications retrieve records from private phone companies (like Verizon) on “any tangible thing\" related to a terrorism investigation, including books, business documents, tax records and library check-out lists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extent of these powers, however, wasn’t publicly known until June 2013, when Edward Snowden, a National Security Administration contractor, leaked thousands of classified documents to \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/the-nsa-files\" target=\"_blank\">The Guardian\u003c/a> and Washington Post newspapers. The leak revealed that the NSA had for years been secretly collecting the phone records of millions of Americans, which it in part justified through an interpretation of Section 215.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>How does the USA Freedom Act change this?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Yet another zany acronym, the bill is officially titled: \"Uniting and Strengthening America by Fulfilling Rights and Ending Eavesdropping, Dragnet-collection and Online Monitoring Act.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While maintaining much of the government's robust surveillance powers, the measure most significantly prevents the government's bulk collection of Americans’ phone records. Federal security agencies must now receive special court approval before reviewing personal records held by private communications companies, and are allowed to only conduct specifically targeted searches rather than indiscriminately surveying millions of peoples’ data. In other words, the phone companies still collect our data but the government, unlike before, can't automatically access it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe id=\"nyt_video_player\" title=\"New York Times Video - Embed Player\" src=\"http://graphics8.nytimes.com/bcvideo/1.0/iframe/embed.html?videoId=100000003717292&playerType=embed\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>An issue unresolved\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The debate created some interesting, if ephemeral, alliances between certain liberal Democrats and libertarian-leaning Republicans like Sen.

Yet, more of those surveyed than not said that anti-terrorism policies haven't gone far enough to adequately protect them.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Dr. Twenge’s analysis garners criticism from other psychologists, who argue that the NPI test is inherently flawed, and even that Dr. Twenge may be misinterpreting this data. Whereas the NPI may show a rise in characteristics that Dr. Twenge attributes in narcissism, critics claim the test more so reveals findings of qualities such as confidence and self-worth, which cannot always be directly tied to narcissism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AUDIO: \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/10/13/338295367/how-millennials-are-reshaping-charity-and-online-giving\">How Millennials Are Reshaping Charity And Online Giving\u003c/a> (NPR)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis feature from NPR’s All Tech Considered looks at a counterargument to the idea of growing narcissism in the Millennial era – that Millennials are spending and giving more of their money for social good.

Twenge’s study of cross-generational narcissism. Using data from the Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI), Dr. Twenge concludes that rates of narcissism found by the NPI have risen over time, notably amongst the Millennial generation. Dr. Twenge’s analysis garners criticism from other psychologists, who argue that the NPI test is inherently flawed, and even that Dr. Twenge may be misinterpreting this data. Whereas the NPI may show a rise in characteristics that Dr. Twenge attributes in narcissism, critics claim the test more so reveals findings of qualities such as confidence and self-worth, which cannot always be directly tied to narcissism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>AUDIO: \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2014/10/13/338295367/how-millennials-are-reshaping-charity-and-online-giving\">How Millennials Are Reshaping Charity And Online Giving\u003c/a> (NPR)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis feature from NPR’s All Tech Considered looks at a counterargument to the idea of growing narcissism in the Millennial era – that Millennials are spending and giving more of their money for social good. Looking at giving patterns, the story claims that Millennials feel more of an obligation to give money to charitable causes, and also care more about investing in causes where the impact of their giving can be directly seen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TEST: \u003ca href=\"http://personality-testing.info/tests/NPI.php\">Narcissistic Personality Inventory\u003c/a> (Personality Tests)\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) is a test designed in 1979 that rates levels of narcissism by asking participants to select what best reflects themselves from a series of paired statements. NPI data has been evaluated over the years by various field experts, including the aforementioned study from Dr. Jean M. Twenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was common practice, the report found, for recruiters to mislead students about jobs and salaries and deflect financial questions or downplay student debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>The for-profit college boom\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Although for-profit college enrollment rates have plummeted in recent years, the sector grew dramatically in the late 1990s and early 2000, with skyrocketing revenue and enrollment rates. Many schools that had primarily offered short-term, vocational certificate programs moved aggressively towards providing associate and bachelor degree programs. Enrollment further increased as a growing number of schools began to offer online programs. At least six for-profit schools now operate exclusively online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1998 and 2008, enrollment in for-profit colleges increased by 225 percent, as compared to 31 percent growth in higher education overall, according to the Senate report. By 2010, approximately 2.4 million students -- between 10 and 13 percent of all U.S. college students -- attended a for-profit school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 2011, for-profit colleges accounted for only 13 percent of federal student aid borrowers, but nearly half of all defaults, the report found. Nearly 600,000 students that enrolled in 2008-09 had withdrawn by 2010. Corinthian had a 66 percent rate of withdraw among students receiving associates degrees, yet still managed to earn a 14 percent profit margin in 2010. Bridgepoint Education topped the list: 84 percent of associate degree students withdrew that year; the company garnered a 30% profit margin.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>What's next?\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>Thousands of former Corinthian students, meanwhile, are planning to take legal action against the for-profit company, claiming they were duped into accumulating large amounts of debt. Some students may be eligible for refunds of federal student loans, or can try transferring credits, but that's typically difficult as many traditional institutions don't recognize for-profit schools. And the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education agency\u003ca href=\"http://www.bppe.ca.gov/students/guide.shtml\"> has a website\u003c/a> to help advise students on applying for loan forgiveness and credit transfers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With little to show from their educational experiences aside from mounting debt, a smaller contingent of students up the ante, declaring a debt strike in the wake of the closures.

Most were in California, the majority clustered in the Bay Area, Los Angeles and the Central Valley.

Until recently, the company had a massive network of 100 campuses across the country but was forced to close or sell most of its locations as fines and legal actions mounted against it. These included lawsuits brought by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and attorneys general in California, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, alleging that the company's schools preyed on low-income students with high-interest loans and fraudulent recruiting practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many for-profit colleges are known for using aggressive recruiting practices to attract non-traditional students, a large number of whom are older and come from low-income backgrounds.
