Golden, Daniel. 2010. "The Homeless at College." Bloomberg Business Week 
(30 April). 

Here is how the article begins: 

"Benson Rollins wants a college degree. The unemployed high school 
dropout who attends Alcoholics Anonymous and has been homeless for 10 
months is being courted by the University of Phoenix. Two of its 
recruiters got themselves invited to a Cleveland shelter last October 
and pitched the advantages of going to the country's largest for-profit 
college to 70 destitute men."
