The New York Times is reporting that the Brooks Institute, a rather well-known photography school in California, is accused of misleading students during the recruitment process.

"The California bureau, in addition to finding violations in Brooks's records, sent an employee to the school, posing as a prospective student. The report said she was told that she could expect her starting salary to be "$50,000 to $150,000" in her first year after graduation from Brooks - enough to pay off the debt she would take on as a student. "The sky's the limit," the admissions official said of her prospects, according to the report."

Were any of the students actually stupid and naive enough to believe this line?
