Like contemplating his asshole. Such a nice boy!
"...to pursue other interest..." is a euphemism.
yup...he was todds cfo when todd was ran out then took over a sinking ship with no strategy to right it's wayward ways...retread will follow todds shadow...beware poor future students
"To pursue other interests" is always code for he was fired in any company's press release. Always.

Expect to see Mick Beekhuizen make a move.
I would say he already did--plus now with a "committee" running the place NOBODY has to take responsibility--all of this government oversight they are beginning to act like the government--hell they already hire absolutely inadequate liars and politicians who hide under their desks and read this site rather than work--
So, Ed West is bailing out. It is so sad. Destroyed many schools just for greed. What about the hundreds of employees out of a job? He had the presidents of all the schools lay off those employees (especially the full time instructors) secretly. Meaning, the Deans of Students, Dean of Academic Affairs and the department heads did not even know anything about it. Departments have been destroyed. Students upset about not have enough course to take, now. Guess what, the students are leaving too. It will not be too much longer and EDMC will be just a bad dream.
Inbred retreads-yeah, that's the ticket! Maybe they could hire Ken Lay if he wasn't pushing up daisies or Jeff Skilling if he wasn't sitting in a federal prison. It's a shame the really outstanding business talent in the world is otherwise indisposed.
Anonymous135900, you mean two once profitable companies.
He's Todd Nelson's fall-guy. Watch him rush over to CECO next so he can do what they did at Apollo and here, there. Difference is, CECO is already actively a fraud-farm.
He's going to jump over to Career Education Corp, old friend Todd Nelson is already set to run the ship. He will just install all his old Apollo buddies again.
Yes jim hobby can provide strategic support as always. He would be a convienent and probably willing fall guy. Since he was cajoled out of retirement, it only makes sense that he would be poised to take it on the chin in the end. This given the fact that ,what the hell, he was already retired.
He is just being re-shuffled to another non EDMC school. Same brother from the same Mormon Brotherhood. It doesn't mean much, just that he's sucking the blood out of the bone marrow from another school.
Nah expect Jim Hobby to be next... After all Ed West convinced him out of retirement to work @ EDMC
Prime example of corporate crimes!!
He's only 49 years old and so accomplished. I can see his resume now: "activly participated in the destruction of a once profitable company." The end.
Expect to see Mick Beekhuizen make a move. He didn't leave GS to get on board a sinking ship for nothing.
