CEC is totally incapable of managing educational institutions or any. Both AIU and CTU remain afloat only because of they are distanced from CEC, they frankly don't need CEC for much of anything (marketing, management, accreditation). Now that CEC is going to "focus" on them they to may end up upside down. Briar Cliff, Brooks, and Harrington never fit the CEC model mainly because they didn't offer worthless "certificates" or pointless degrees and each has educated educators serving students. LCB is exactly what it claims to be, does what it says it does; the fact that an education at LCB cost too much and that CEC stopped investing in and improving facilities and equipment, and gainful employment is a potential real problem doesn't make worth it for CEC.
The "ghost tower" CEC HQ occupants and most of the Sanford Brown, much of both AIU and CTU is are either incest children of the for-profit industry (failed elsewhere and joined CEC) or perhaps worse hold "advanced" degrees from a for-profit school (often a CEC school)! Work for CEC and you to can 'earn' a useless degree.
The real laughable moments in Ron's bumbling oral discourse where when he framed CEC as a leader - a leader of what closing schools!?! Let's see in the past few years 3 failed CEO's, numerous failed EVP's & VP's, Marketing failure after failure, Admissions hog tied, campuses under funded and ineptly supported quite the profile of leadership! Perhaps CEC could sell this as "best practice".
