Thread regarding Zenith Education Group layoffs

Podesta Group Keeping Zenith Alive

Zenith is a shell of its previous self, Corinthian Colleges. Yet some current employees may feel fortunate that without Podesta Group--it could be worse. Podesta Group is a bi-partisan organization in Washington, DC that hires former government officials to schmooze current officials.

Tony Podesta and John Podesta founded Podesta Group in 1988--and John is now head of Hillary Clinton's current campaign. John Podesta was also a key Bill Clinton friend and adviser.

The two current Podesta Group lobbyists for ECMC are Republican operatives.

Sources here suggest that perhaps people in DC tipped off Zenith about the clamp down on ACICS--which is a very plausible rumor--given the current level of corruption in the nation's capitol.

I know for a fact that the DOE tipped off ECMC on the closure of ACICS. I heard it first hand from a VP in January 2016 that the DOE let ECMC know that ACICS was in hot water and to get out! It is a unethical but legal scam that the DOE is pulling with ECMC to not have to pay all of CCI's student loans back. Why were the other schools that these 80,000 students attended not given the same warning? Because, DOE has a deal with ECMC. Pure and simple.

Perhaps people should look into Obama's buddies... Still think CCI's downfall was not premeditated by the Obama Administration?

The troubled for-profit education company that owns the giant University of Phoenix agreed on Monday to be bought for $1.1 billion by a group of investors that includes a private equity firm with close ties to the Obama administration.

The university and its owner, the Apollo Education Group, have been subject to a series of state and federal investigations into allegations of shady recruiting, deceptive advertising and questionable financial aid practices.

Vistria’s founder is Marty Nesbitt, one of President Obama’s closest friends and the chairman of the Obama Foundation. Mr. Nesbitt is also a longtime business partner of Penny Pritzker, the commerce secretary

Dave Hawn announced over a year ago that Zenith was working to get all the schools accredited with ACCSC. Everyone thought that would be a bad move because credits from an ACCSC accredited school would not transfer to other schools where as they would from ACICS accredited schools. I guess Dave was tipped off by the DOE and they gave him at least a year to make the changes.

Zenith Education Group is a partnership between the DOE and ECMC. It was obvious from the very beginning. ECMC needs the DOE to sign off on the collection contract and the DOE made them a deal to take over the schools and close most of them down.

My guess is Pedesta has had there hands in it all along, along with the goody two shoes Clinton's who have thier dirty little hands in a little bit of everything. This really pisses me off as Hilary has down graded Trump when all along she is just as dirty as him maybe even worse. What has this world come to when all we have to choose from is a couple of swindlers. For that matter just who the hell can we trust from DOE, to Corrinthian, to Everest, to Zeneth, from Podesta to Clinton to Trump.

I've said from the beginning...if the govt were ever truly for education and not just keeping a cash cow mooing, they wouldn't have permitted the debt collector to buy the place. No surprise then, that the DOE would tip them off to switch accreditation. The day that the DOE had to pay for Everest to be able to pay their own employees should have been the day the DOE said ok, this needs to be shut down.
