Degrees of Deception explains the development and widespread abuses of the for-profit higher education sector in America. To illustrate the scope and degree of wrongdoing in forprofit higher education, readers are exposed to the industry in the same sequential order that students experience it in reality. A few examples include predatory recruitment, targeting military service members, questionable quality of programs, predatory lending, high withdrawal and default rates, manipulation of job placement data, and strategic lobbying efforts to block comprehensive reform. Following this analysis, Degrees of Deception offers bold and unprecedented solutions to tackle the crisis in a way that protects millions of student victims and taxpayers indefinitely.

Kevin also assists with the investigation and resolution of complaints made to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and New York State Division of Human Rights. Kevin is a cum laude graduate of the University of Rochester, where he graduated in 2015. Following his undergraduate studies, Kevin attended William & Mary Law School. During law school, Kevin was the President of the American Constitution Society, Spong Tournament Justice for the William & Mary Moot Court Team, and a member of the William & Mary Environmental Law & Policy Review.
