university of phoenix campus in san diego. it has received more g.i. bill money than any brick and mortar campus in america, $95 million over the last five years. that's almost seven times what the university of california diego got. in fact, the center for investigative reporting found, the university of phoenix san diego campus received more g.i. bill money than the entire 10- campus u.c. system. last june, the school's accrediting body, the higher learning commission, put the university of phoenix on notice, saying the school did not "support student learning and effective teaching." students at the university of phoenix often have trouble repaying their loans. more than a quarter default within three years of leaving school. and, at this campus, fewer than 15% of students graduate, according to the department of education. i met with retired u.s. army colonel garland williams. he oversees military programs for all university of phoenix campuses nationwide. do you feel like this almost billion dollars of taxpayer money to the university of phoenix is a good investment for the taxpayers? >> the veterans have chosen us because of the programs that we offer. we have over one hundred programs that we off

back in april, 2012, daniel chung, a college student at the university of california san diego, was arrested by law enforcement conducting a sweep for drugs at a college party. he was taken into custody by d.e.a. and transported to the local d.e.a. field office. he was questioned by the agents who had arrested him, and the agents apparently concluded that there was no basis to charge him with a crime. the young man may have well simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time. and so the agents told him that he was going to be releaseed, but daniel chung was not released. instead, he was taken back to a holding cell in handcuffs and he was left there for dead for five days. five days without food, five days without water, five days without sunlight, five days without any basic necessities of life in a holding cell not much larger than a bathroom stall. he cried out for help. he kicked and banged on the door of the cell but to no avail. he became so desperate and dehydrated that he even drank his own europe in an effort to survive. incredibly, the one thing that daniel chung found in his cel
