Argosy
Yup, Argosy could lose all federal aid funding. Why? Because money isn't accounted for. I said it before and I'll say it again. Somebody or somebodies WILL BE going to prison. You know who you are. Come clean. Now. Or else.

South university and SUO
How is it that south seems to not have been impacted, at least relatively speaking? I have friends at SUO who actually claim to be excited for their future and feel "safe".
Money
So, now its 13 million dollars...unaccounted for? This is unacceptable. This is affecting people's lives here. Better find that money. I expect it found. I'm not taking the fall for this or going to prison. Someone knows something. Fess up. Now.
