The Gig is Up Folks ... Time To Lock The Doors

Altierus is Everest
The fact that Altierus is Everest needs to get out there. Changing the name avoids internet search's that could affect enrollment. People need full information and facts to make informed decisions.
Is this what we have come to?

EUO Criminal Justice still around?

what's the problem
Zenith is handing raises out like candy, I have 5 weeks plus off a year. Why do we need students? ECMC is loaded. They can keep this up for a long time. Its not our money who cares.
Has Anything Really Changed?
Has anyone seen any big change since we were owned by CCi ? We still recruit the same type of students. We still have terrible placement rates, and in some cases worse. Students are still defaulting on their loans. We still push students into signing... — read more
Be Serious With Yourself
Zenith employees, I hope you realize that you work for a totally corrupt company that preys on students from low-income areas. These students think that a degree from Everest is the same as a degree from University of Florida. They don't know that... — read more
At least 12 campuses to close in 2018
Online had no chance of finding a new accreditor. WyoTech has always been under ACCSC but none of the 12 Everests that lost ACICS had been approved by ACCSC yet. There web sites still say they expect to be under new accreditation in early 2017. I... — read more

Tampa
Did or will Tampa get their new accreditation? It's been top secret with no responses. Sam Lynn really screwed the campuses when he merged Nursing and Surg. tech over from the Brandon campus without approval from any accrediting body.
Deadline for Educational Deregulation Hearings Ends July 12

What is going on?
WyoTech Blairsville down to 200 students, lowest population since it opened. What is going on, are we closing? Haven't heard anything from management but they look worried and won't directly answer questions. Why aren't we aren't included in the... — read more
I'm frustrated
I've been employed by Zenith for 2 years. I am embarrassed to tell people where I work, I don't like our product due to terrible outcomes, and I don't have to work very hard. But yet here I am. What is wrong with me? Why are we still open?

This is why ECMC keeps Zenith alive despite its obvious failure to produce strong outcomes
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-05-19/americans-are-paying-38-to-collect-1-of-student-debt ECMC makes billions off their defaulted student loan portfolio. Students suffer, taxpayers suffer, but ECMC lives large. Well done Congress.
LAW SUIT

ACCSC Accreditation
Has anyone heard the outcome of the hearing? Silence can't be a good sign.
Southfield school president
Did the Southfield, MI school president get removed? There is a job posting for campus director/academic dean.
Bring back the old campus management team
When ECMC/ZEG decided to clean house in the remaining campuses by either RIF or terminating the management team due to "misconduct", that was the worse action and/or decision that they have ever made. First of all, what happened to PIPS, write-ups or... — read more
How is Zenith still in business?
How is Zenith still in business? I'm surprised that ECMC hasn't unloaded the schools yet. http://collegemeltdown.blogspot.com/
fallen between the cracks...
How many teach out campuses have no leadership, No academic dean, No career services, No financial aid. We will have active students for another year and a half yet.
Who is running the show?
It is hard to believe that anyone is at the helm. Out enrollment numbers are an embarrassment and yet admissions continues to be run by someone who has never come close to being in admissions. The ability to stand in front of a class of seniors and... — read more
