Thread regarding ITT Educational Services Inc. layoffs

ITT Tech is finished

There are countless ways this place is going to shed jobs, students, and money from now until the inevitable closure.

This article is interesting for what is says as much as what it doesn't.

"Higher interest rates will hurt the millions of Americans struggling with student loan, credit card, and other forms of debt. Already over 40 percent of Americans who owe student loan debt are defaulting on their payments.

If Federal Reserve policies increase the burden of student loan debt, the number of defaults will dramatically increase leading to a bursting of the student loan bubble."

So there is a public acknowledgment of the bubble we all know exists, a bubble that ITT is on the outer fringes of by creating far more debt and far worse outcomes. When the bubble does inevitably pop, who is going to feel the pain more? This place is being scrutinized on every aspect that it fails at, and has always failed at. Job placement, debt loads, quality of curriculum, quality of labs, lack of certifications, lack of reputation, even a lack of qualified teachers. Any one of the dozen agencies investigating this place can and will cut off federal funds, and once that happens this place is bust.

I think a lot of it is the obvious corruption in the government around student loans/debt and general feeling of helplessness. I've complained to everyone I can find, written to my own and other state's attorney generals and senators and its gone nowhere. I'm on the brink of suicide because of this debt and nobody gives a sh--, including the entire government. It is very similar to the sacrifices they gave to wall street for housing and healthcare, where they can make a buck screwing over the public they will, consequences be damned.

It doesn't look like things will get better. Only a few ITT Tech or Breckinridge workers are willing to complain, even though hundreds of students have reported their issues. That's why the whistleblower suit from the campus dean in Florida is so important.......................... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/davidhalperin/blockbuster-lawsuit-claim_b_9040584.html
