As a former employee, I recognize that there is so many good people working at AIO, but also a lot of scum as well. If you're on of the good ones, GET OUT NOW. Find a new job. When you're caught up in the culture there, it's easy to say, "I'm just... — read more

Congress does NOT block Obama gainful employment rule or other protections against for-profit colleges!
www.appropriations.senate.gov Another legal loss for EDMC this week. They should have spend $$$$ on teachers and facilities instead of lawyers and then they wouldn't be in this unethical mess.

It's been a quiet couple of weeks in 1300. Hammers gotta drop soon. Who's next at SUO?
