The college has been accused of predatory practices. In 2022, a ProPublica and Detroit Free Press investigation titled "The Nonprofit College That Spends More on Marketing Than Financial Aid" highlighted its low graduation rate and high student debt rate compared to comparable institutions, as well as its unconventional management structure.[4] That month, Baker College threatened legal action against a former faculty member relating to a non-disparagement clause included in a settlement with Baker.[5]
