“We’re also having a hangover from a lot of bad actors in higher ed who misrepresented their product.”

Not willing to go deeper on this one, huh?

Two paragraphs before (still lacking other examples):

Other headlines include the ones about resurgent scams and scandals that have forced taxpayers to assume the debt of students whose colleges and universities misled them. The U.S. Department of Education in June discharged $5.8 billion worth of federal loans borrowed by students of the defunct for-profit Corinthian Colleges, for example. Cases such as that have “really put a sour taste in the mouths of some people,” Hicks said.

That doesn't really go in depth about what the misrepresentation was.

It linked an article about the loan discharge decision, which has several links. The article itself only mentions misleading job placement rates and ability to transfer credits to some other institutions.
One might guess there would be more of that to find if they ever looked into some specific departments in presumably every liberal arts school.
