Over the past couple of terms I've had a couple classes (and not a class every term, either), and in each class I've had about 5 or 6 students. Compare this to 6 mos. ago (when we were about 6 months into our new Zenith ownership), and I had 20-30... — read more
Who owns EDMC?
Who owns EDMC? I had believed that KKR owned the company, but then I checked Yahoo Finance and it showed something very different. That webpage indicated that Eaton Vance was the largest stockholder with about 110 Million shares. Providence Equity... — read more
Career education is a booming industry
Boom. Another school gone.
Where did the million students go?
At one time Corinthian had over 110,000 students. About the same time UoP had over 600,000. EDMC had over 100,000. Then there was CEC and others. Now? Few so few students. When will they return?

Career Education is a dying industry!!
Career Education, regardless if the company is for-profit, non-profit, or not-for-profit, is a dying industry. Most of the kind of career education can be provided by publicly support community colleges or junior colleges. Their cost structure is... — read more
Teach out!
March 23rd Pompano Beach FL went into teach-out.
Thank God the RVP's are finally gone!
bye bye timmy
you will need a shower after doing time in this company.
To leave by choice gives you the freedom to tell the truth, the truth of how employees get fired for telling the truth. The truth of no experience in the industry they teach but a dent under the desk keeps them employed. The truth of how a degree... — read more
Closing Schools latest

Couldn't hold Massamino's jock strap! ECMC Board of Directors should be ashamed of his appointment as CEO and immediately look to replace him. PETER PRINCIPLE!
Dallas Campus
Is the Dallas campus still open? Is Peters and his "team" still around?
If I were you
For those that have stayed and are engaged in the future of Zenith, wish you the best. I made a decision to leave months ago and I am happy. If you are not at Southfield, Tampa, Bissonett, Tacoma, Marietta, Fortworth or Cheasepeak, you need to start... — read more
Inside Information
Looks like a major article is going to be coming out. Discussing disfunction of Zenith, nability to stabalize and lack of changes at both ground and online. Rumor has it that a reporter has been making calls.
Catching up on reading
I finally had an opportunity to catch up on articles some of my friends told me about. http://bigstory.ap.org/article/2d8a1bc9ec8f43a0bc52436d6323ce05/trouble-remains-following-failed-profit-schools-revival

April Fools Day is Over
Now that April fools day is past we can stop all the jokes about how well things improved in one week. We can also see that nothing has changed at campus level other than job titles. Same management, different titles. Get rid of 4 regional VPs and... — read more

Good numbers at South Florida campuses
Q1 in South Florida shaped up to beat expectations. Pipeline is strong. The miserable trolls will commence soon, but thought I would share the good news anyway
And my manager thought I was wrong!
So my Everest manager fired me. That was back in 2013. Guess who's laughing now.
Zenith me thinks lawsuits are headed your way.
Zenith EVP Team, I hope someone is taking a strong assessment of the ages of displaced employees in comparison to the ages of replacement employees. You changed the title, but the role stays the same. Also, you have campuses running amoke making... — read more
Early returns look good ... put down the crack pipe.
Zenith cut $30m in salaries. This was a figure they have been chasing all year, a deficit. However, they are adding back in a significant portion of that savings in new positions and promotions. Which no one is tracking from a financial modeling... — read more
Early returns are good after last week's restructuring
For the past week the finance/B.A. guys have been working almost around the clock and with the latest restructuring I'm hearing the early returns are "much better than expected". Spring enrollments haven't been ideal, but are "sustainable" and the... — read more

Ethical versus Moral?
Who is more ethical, someone who pretends to be recruiting students, or one who recruits students? Who is more moral?
Recipe for disaster
Why are there some DOCS, still at the campuses if placement is to be ran through the new Director of Student Success? All of this is laughable as the DOA's could barely get students in the doors and keep a team working. Now, they have them doing... — read more
