Thread regarding ITT Educational Services Inc. layoffs

Beauty school in Corona, CA has twice the full time faculty as Corona ITT-Tech

Talk about cheap! Can't find any schools, using the College Navigator website, that hire fewer full time faculty than ITT-Tech. I guess the full time salespeople (plenty of those) are more important than instructors at ITT-Tech.

For example, compare the two campus choices in Corona, CA: ITT-Tech versus Salon Success Academy.

Tuition at the beauty school is less than at ITT-Tech. They are both private for profit. Graduation rate for the beauty school is over 70%, better than any ITT-Tech.

You know something is wrong when the ITT-Tech campus in Corona, CA hires only 2 full time faculty. The campus has 450 students, offers two different bachelor of science degrees, as well as 3 different associate degrees, in technical and business fields.

While the Salon Success Academy in Corona hires 4 full time faculty! This school has only 126 students, offering aesthetician and cosmetology certificates.

Not surprisingly, average starting salary for Corona ITT-Tech graduates in electronics, class of 2014, was only around $30,000 a year for associate degrees. Disturbingly, average starting salary was around the same for graduates of the bachelor program! Can't find starting salary for beauticians -- maybe more then $30,000 with tips!

Good point. Cosmetology was one of the few majors at for-profit colleges that did seem to get decent results.
