Many commentators identify the Trump University business model as an indication of fraudulent activity, Raw Story reported. Additionally, this university is not representative of for-profit higher education and not regulated by the same agencies, thus it means it does not follow the rules of agencies.

For-profit colleges and universities operate for financial gain and have been part of the higher education landscape since the 1800s. Students who are not interested in earning a degree, and focus only on the fields that mainstream institutions ignore stenography and bookkeeping.
There were changes occurred after the Higher Education Act was reauthorized in 1972. One of the changes was the students attending for-profit could be treated just like students at other institutions. Aside from that, they could get grants and subsidized loans to pay for their tuition.
Other institutions that wanted access to the federal money should agree to state, federal, and accreditor oversight. So it means, for-profits should do the same.
