As an outsider to Corinthian looking in ... not really sure how one would call Laurie McConnell a whistle blower. It appears that she communicated concerns about one student. She provided the school leadership 4 days to respond, did not go outside of... — read more

Seriously? What is going on? We keep hearing that there are "interested parties." What does that mean? Every Monday our president gets off of a call with NC and GW and we are told that there is no news other than that there are people looking at the... — read more
I find it funny -- Mr. Camden Kid --
I find it strange that no one ever discusses how these students come to be. Where does the real fault lie? Mr. Camden -- if you and your cohort of good doers where honest with one another -- you would realize that the failure of these students exists... — read more
My university folded. I refuse to pay back my loan.
This is not about the debt strikers, but about a student at a shuttered campus wanting to take advantage of the law. http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2015/03/16/my-for-profit-university-folded-im-not-paying-back-my-student-loans/
Where Will Jack Hide His Assets?
If Jack Massimino sells his $11 Million home in Utah, where will he hide his assets?..........http://www.buzzfeed.com/mollyhensleyclancy/lower-education#.ubl6Q5QOR
What is going to CA schools ? Business as usual, but no marketing, no supplies. If they are goin to shut the doors, let us know when so we can
We are willing to go down with the ship, just tell us, give us something. This stress is taking its toll
This needs its own thread - White Supremist Alert!!!
This is being discussed in other threads, but I think people should be alerted. There's a racist poster on here (who claims to live in a trailer in the East Bay area of California, so probably works in one of our schools there). I believe he has said... — read more

Why do Republicans love doing laundry? They're naturals at separating the whites from the colors. LOL!
I thought our stock was delisted?
I know it's not important at this point, but I just noticed that our stock is still listed (gone from four cents to two cents a share...hee hee). Anyway, many messages on this board said that it was going to be, and then that it had been delisted... — read more

What Actually Happens When You Don’t Pay Your Loans?
It’s important to consider the ramifications of going on a student loan strike. “I’m not sure we have anyone who’s going to get hurt except the people striking,” said Joshua Cohen, a student loan lawyer based in Vermont. “In order for this strike to... — read more
DOE asking about Socle
A few of our recent ex-employees (and I'm talking managers, BAs, etc, not reps) have been approached to spill the beans on Socle. So, it looks like even with the ECMC deal, DOE wants to shut off our aid. What they're going to find is the exact same... — read more
Today's CCI SEC filings. The Execs are getting a retirement package as of the 9th of March, but they will stay on as consultants.
For the slow Heald employees, the execs have cashed out and their money is safely in their own bank accounts. So while you may not get paid, the execs are all set. Does that sound like Heald will be fine? That there is a buyer? Wake up people! Stop... — read more

Whoo whoo! Shout out to SOCLE TAMPA! Way to go guys!!! I KNEW we could do it!
To all of the idiots posting ridiculous comments about student loans
We have a lot of people on here who know nothing about financial aid, yet keeping coming on here and droning on and on about loan debt (Camden Kid - I'm looking at you). Well, you really need to not talk out of your ass. Let's use Latonya... — read more
Ugh, I don't like the new format

F*"'#$ over in Canada
I just wanted to post that Jack and Bob are giant douche canoes. Cowards, possibly criminals. After bleeding our coffers dry they did not have the stones to tell us they were throwing in the towel. Although I am now unemployed (along with 450 others)... — read more
Camden Kid----Crooks at Syracuse with academic misconduct. Almost certainly Title 4 implications and another state (pure as snow) institution
Almost certainly Title 4 implications and yet more students earning degrees not earned and therefore worthless. Where are you with Senators and Board of Regents given the almost daily example of fraud and misconduct? I would think you find this... — read more
Idiotic
A Florida campus had a Bigshot visitor. He walked around checking to see that all desks were neat and tidy. Insisted that chairs should be properly tucked under the desk. Also checked for dust. The whole thing was demeaning.
has there been any major changes at any campuses so far?
lower salaries, layoffs, management changes, etc? By the looks of this board the last 60 days, there haven't been any...yet?
No Paychecks?? Are we even getting paid this week!?
no cal grant money to play with til the 20th...where will the money come from?

'Corinthian 15' Student Debt Strike Picks Up Congressional Endorsement
Lawsuits by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and state attorneys general in California, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin may help their cause. In separate suits filed in recent years, authorities allege that Corinthian fraudulently... — read more
Why is it so difficult for people who post on this board and who defend CCI realize that this company is in BIG TROUBLE? The facts are there.
Their practices have landed them in hot water. And unlike local community colleges and universities, CCI DOES promise placement in particular fields to incoming students, and is consistently manipulating students concerning their loans and their... — read more
Is it too early to start predicting the date for CCI bankruptcy?
I'll start: April 2. A day or so after CalGrants disappear at Heald and B of A decides to cut its losses when no buyer materializes.
The Greed of those in Power, the Complicity of Many, And the Resistance of a Few

California schools to be sold!
Maybe even to ECMC so if your hell bent on hating ECMC and the people they took with them, it may be the right time to look elsewhere. I for one, am happy to get a chance to help save this industry.
