Looks like Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson is looking into the activities of Corinthian Colleges, 

a publicly owned, for-profit education chain based in Santa Ana, Calif.

From Corinthian's most recent 10-K report:

Swanson said months ago she's looking into the business practices of a handful of for-profit colleges. Although she hasn't said which ones, 

the AG's office is also asking questions

Swanson isn't the only one looking into Corinthian. It was 

in last year's Senate investigation by a committee led by Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin.

Former U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta also quit Corinthian's board after some media outlets 

questioned whether he should be affiliated with the company.

The chain has three different school branches in its group: Everest, WyoTech and Heald Business College -- though it appears some schools may have gone by other names in previous years.

It also has an information-technology company called QuickStart Intelligence.
