Workers are being lied to...
National American University cannot be profitable. It's too underwater to survive. It's doubtful that they can even make their loan payment to Black Hills Community Bank this May. That's why the CFO bailed. What are workers being told?

Dead cat bounce
NAUH shares sold for 22 cents today. The move to 25 cents is just a dead cat bounce. It's amazing that anyone is buying shares. What does this have to do with education? That's what happens when college is nothing more than a short-term investment.
NAUH tailspin. Student servicemembers, veterans, and their families can file complaints.
I have seen these scenarios play out before with publicly traded colleges, with different outcomes: Corinthian Colleges "COCO" (Everest College and Wyotech) was bailed out by the feds and student loan servicer ECMC. All the schools eventually closed... — read more
