After Stoval ticked me off I appointed myself Chief Executive of both Zenith and ECMC Group. I really have no interest in meeting any of you because you whine too much. You invent your own news if you aren’t given any, so I must issue this edict: I will use this forum to give you bits of inconclusive, stuttering nonsense as I see fit. I will also enlist members of the CLAP (Corinthian Legacy And Pals) to “guest blog” so that you can see that they are still running the show despite your lameass, anonymous complaining in multiple forums. Get used to it. I will start today with a high level look at the future, since I have owned you for four months and intend to keep changing what you perceive to be true. My duck and run strategy, implemented by the CLAP, has cut costs and eliminated extraneous staff in a very short period of time. We have begun (the CLAP and me) to restructure your remains and improve margins. This has tested your resilience and moved my financials in a positive direction. Plan to bend over for more change as we redouble our efforts to improve the student experience and increase profits. Despite your challenges, I remain steadfast in my optimism about Zenith’s future. Speaking on behalf of ECMC, Zenith’s parent company, we are in it for the long haul even though we don’t anticipate that many of you will be with us. I really don’t care who invented “Save Our Students” and whether she actually knows anything about education, but I will invest tens of millions of dollars in SOS, CampusVue, and high priced certificate programs over the next 2-3 years. The CLAP has approved this decision. Our new SVP Student Success will be developing a number of new temporary assignments and internships for our graduates, who do not stand a chance of finding a job without assistance. Thanks to those of you who gave your ideas to the ECMC Foundation. The CLAP and I will be making awards to several affiliates of the CLAP, who we anticipate will donate their prize money back to the deserving not-for-profit Zenith Education Group. I see empty seats in the classrooms and can’t run this shithole without the CLAP, so we will also be investing in a new marketing program to help re-position the Everest Brand. The CLAP has come to the conclusion that the missionary position is just not working for them, so we may be recycling some of you into different roles (depending on your skills). Please accept my sincere thanks for everything you are doing to help our students and graduates progress toward their dreams after taking out as many loans as possible.------Dave

The CLAP part is great. That's what has been so hard for me to understand. Did people like Stiglich and Dean manage to convince Hawn that they and their cronies were not part of the problem? Did nobody at ECMC decide to check that out? Or did they just not care and wanted to continue to scam the American taxpayer?
Priceless!
