Thread regarding ITT Educational Services Inc. layoffs

Students deserve honest update on ITT-Tech implosion

Finally recruiters are seeing the light. Being laid off hurts, especially with no notice. Rumors s---.

Now, what about the students? They are traditionally kept in the dark by ITT-Tech management, as part of business model. Is that policy going to change? Why should they rely on rumors at this critical time?

How many current students are aware of ITT-Tech's cash-crunch issues? Accreditation issues? Have they been sent any email or letter informing them? What are the remaining recruiters saying to them?

How much warning do students get that their campus is closing, or teaching out? What about first-year students who are counting on Bachelor program at ITT-Tech, students whose credits that are not transferable? Shouldn't they be updated on likelihood of bachelor program being offered in their field at their campus?

Its no secret that Modany and co are pathetic, small minded, and seriously greedy. I was a student at the ITT-Tech in Green Bay, WI. The financial services people willfully withheld information about their "peaks private loan services" and pushed those loan services on all their students after they've milked the students. The financial services people were also deceptive about how much was also accredited to the student accounts. The only justice for students currently attending and those who were hozed over by this school & the instructors there would be for the school to close down. Kevin Modany and his clown car board of putz's need to go to jail for a least 10 years for every student they screwed past and present.

The honest update is that Me & Kevin are having our 4th dumpster baby and I let him fist me every day while I lie to the public and embezzle money from Kevin's wallet.

A few quarters ago I made a point of telling my students that all full time people at ITT-Tech are salespeople in some form or another -- that it was part of their job. Kind of dark, but that was my observation. As adjunct faculty, I also have made a point of declaring to my students that I am not going to sell them anything, and I tell them they can ask me anything and I will try to give them an honest answer.

There are at least a few students at my campus who are aware of what's being said on forums, websites, etc. And some hear bad things from friends of friends, or a former student, who had a bad experience. Students who I teach bring things up occasionally with me. They are usually kind of shy about it, and come up during break or after class. Sometimes a student will fall apart after class, telling me they are freaking out about stuff going on in a different class, or they are worried their program will disappear. They get little information from managers.

I used to tell students who ask questions to just do their due diligence, and talk to everyone they can, and read a variety of opinions, and visit other schools, and talk to administrators at other colleges, etc, etc. But now I make a point of being more informative and straightforward, since I want to be able to sleep at night. It has become one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

Mmmm....I'm not suprised either that ITT is keeping all of the bad news away from the students and faculty/staff. I look at what they put on their Employee Portal: "all good sh--, nothing bad!" I work extremely close w/ the students and not one student has approached me about the latest ITT Tech news. I'm wondering if our students even watch the news (just saying). Even when the students had to write a letter stating how great of a school ITT is, they gave the students a sample letter of what to write (yes!) and they hand picked the best graduates to write the letters. So that article about how so many ITT Tech student/graduates wrote heartfelt letters about how great ITT is a bunch of sh--! NOT GENUINE! I love our staff/faculty but HQ is crap (vomit)! Stupid assrules and forms!!!

In some states the Nursing board required ITT to post/notify the nursing students that the program was on probation. I'm sure that didn't make them happy.

Secrecy is paramount. At one campus in our district a new ITT was being built on the other side of town Nobody at the campus knew, not even the director...They didn't get any word of the top-secret project at all. Zero. Except, one day a rep's husband came home and said "Honey, guess what- I'm hanging drywall at the new ITT location"...WHAT ITT???!!?! Silence from HQ, like area 51.

ITT informing the students about the current situation? ITT doesn't even inform their own employees much less the students. Employees are only going by rumors, by what they hear and see. Everybody at ITT is in a limbo, where is top management? Where are the big mouth managers? Show your face in times like this and maybe you will earn some respect. COWARDS!!!

"Bubble mentality" puts students under huge amount of stress, and employees too.

Adjunct faculty working closely with students are not given any guidance of course.

But the s__t will hit the fan soon. Once August ACICS meeting happens, information will be made public regarding ITT-Tech's show-cause. And in September, DoED senior person makes final decision on ACICS, which also will become public. And in the fine print somewhere, I read that students have to be notified about changes in accreditation -- maybe within 30 days, not sure.

Who are students going to trust, after they finally get an email with bad news about stuff that's been going on for years? IMHO, its better to inform students ASAP about possibilities.

If Modany and co. were capable of doing the right thing by students then ITT Tech might not be in this current mess.

They have shown that they are inept and they are presumably blind to the educationally fraudulent effects of their own policies. I would not expect that to change now. They will bleat on about being victimized by the DoE and will turn their blind eyes to the trail of their own self-destructive path. That better suits their "bubble" mentality.
