North Hollywood Art Institutes protesters

Protesters outside of N Hollywood location. Ai employees removed signage from main entrance and attempted to usher open house attendees out of side door, but protesters spread out to cover multiple entrances.

Parents of prospective students are horrified by what they are learning.

Not looking good. Already low attendance for open house

good on them for taking a stand. More than most of the s---ers have the balls to do. Most of what they were telling people at our school was absolutely true, without any exaggeration on their part to sensationalize their side. Other people in the company need to be honest with themselves and admit that we have played a part in a multitude of kids getting into debt they will never repay. What Ai represents to the future of higher education in our country is reprehensible. Shame on us.

Props to all who are out protesting these vile institutions. If only there were enough pissed off defrauded students hitting every campus nationwide, only then will you get some media exposure. Same type of protest should be done at the Dream Center, if the sale goes through. They have to spend money on adverts for the new art schools they just purchased and having them protested will not be a good start for them.

3ity.

Good work in telling the truth to shame the devil.

Apparently the Assemblies of God are not working on that vibe.

It was really more of a counter information action to provide factual information to prospective students that the schools are not giving them during the open house. Information about the shady practices, reputation of the school, actual debt amounts, lack of career prospects. Things like that. Also a way to try to point out the moral and ethical deficiencies and conflicts of interest with the Dream Center deal.

Why were they protesting? Is AI closing?

By the way, how's the Ai in Houston?

One can only pray it was blown away to hell from where it spawned.
