Corruption at corporate level....students and staff suffer. Corruption at the government level, the country suffers. If you care to look deeper, will see connections with groups that purchased Corinthian and UoP and Administration. Most are former DOE officials.
Wall street journal is trash, those news articles are all opinions and bias with no actual facts or actual research involved. I would never take anything written by them at face value. They schmooze with for-profit colleges like experienced whores with drunken men.
"Community colleges are excellent at fulfilling fast-food positions. I've personally seen ITT degrees go far, and why? It's applicable to the market demand. Community colleges are perfect for those who realize a trade - unless nursing, police or firefighter - won't exist."
Surprised people like you are still posting these lies on this board!
Guess what? It's all over. ITT-Tech is toast. You lose. No one on here will be swayed by this.
Are you trying to pump the stock price back up? Just trolling? Who cares.

Dear Outcomes,
10% of post secondary students attend for profits. They are 50% of defaults. They are for profit.
They require different rules.
Period.
Looks like it is behind a paywall for me. Can someone post the text of the article here?
Anyone who worked at the campus level (below director), understood the problem laid squarely with the corporate folks in Carmel Indiana. Modany and the board of directors (for the last 10 years) simply didn't give a crap about improving standards, being accountable to student complaints, managing the school's reputation, or demonstating any common sense in any way. It was extremely frustrating.
Typically, when a stock price goes from $120 to $4 theres hope for change at the top. Not so with ITT-Tech and the Feds had no choice but to kill the whole school.
Why is it the community college's fault if YOU choose not to attend class? "Tuition"? Where do you get the idea that if YOU fail a class because you don't show up that you shouldn't have to pay the tuition?
What are the "outcomes" of local community college or university? Don't know? It's because they are not held to the same accountability. If your answer is....the have a better reputation and provide a better education, that is not tangible. The community college I attended could give a rats a-- whether I was in class or not. If I did not go, would just fail the course and still be on the hook for tuition. The reputation a product of those that do not want to have for profit education challenge tradition institutions. Been to a non profit hospital or carry non profit health insurance lately? How did that work out?
ITT's student outcomes were poor. Straight fact.
This school was a waste of tax payer money.
Yes there are too many intertwined connections between government and certain industries and it affects both parties, but none of that excuses ITT Tech's pathetic "educational" efforts. ITT Tech needed to go.
