In a press release, ITT Educational Services announced it would close all campuses of its ITT Technical Institutes. The for-profit college system has become a household name over the past half-century. The company blamed the shutdown on the U.S. Department of Education, which had stepped up oversight of the school and recently imposed tough financial sanctions.
- so an entity (gov) that wants everyone to go to college thinks a college let people in who didnt qualify? lol.yurimon
- seems like they don't like competition********
- sounds like it. seems things will get worse before it gets better. i wonder how much of this type of stupidity will people take.yurimon
- historically speaking until it all collapses. and hopefully a leader arises with sense for people to follow. historically usually another scumbag rises.********
- so probably not good but that's life. question ill have to make in a couple years is do i want to bring a kid into the cycle. would make adapting harder********
- well adjusted vs sane. depends where. there places or pockets of sanity in certain communities. question is where. some people leave the country if they dontyurimon
- find.yurimon
- I wonder how long the Art Institute schools will last? I heard they've already closed a few of their schools.fooler
- A shit educational scam...sorta' like Trump University without the headpiece.utopian
- i'd argue there is more scam in regular college than a technical college. and they have more recruiters including most politicians********
- either way its bad that gov his tightening its monopoly on education********
- so if very few people graduating ITT can't find a job and the gov keep paying their tuition, the gov is dumb and broken.utopian
- If the gov cuts off funding for a school that is clearly a scam, then the gov hates competition and wants to be a monopoly.utopian
- what about community college by your logic they all should be closed down.yurimon

http://tinyurl.com/j…utopian - why is the government singling out a for profit college when the same can be said about any college? is it a fault of the school or the students?********
- why is the government propping up some and hurting others. because of special interests?********
- 3 thinks to get ext edu back to normal is get rid of non profit status, no gov accreditations, no backed loans********
- plus there was no due process, a gov agency just made a ruling.yurimon
- by that logic they should shut down most art colleges utopyurimon
- I doubt you even need accreditations. most of that is scam. look at moodys triple A stamps on CDOs and why they did that.********
- hell most employers still need proof of jobs and do tests to see if you know what you say. or internships out of school. that is real accreditation********
- heres the bigger irony. Its dept of education involvement in providing loans.
1. causes higher edu costs by creating artificial demand. 2. controls methodsyurimon - and re read that article utopian and ask yourself about the statements, wether it applies and how it does. that article is pure PR bias.********
- of admissions which would label anything performance based as discrimination. imagine if colleges actually had to compete.yurimon
- id actually think accreditation is simple business ploy to prevent competition. protectionism 101********
- it sounds to me like the institute was no different then any other college that is accustomed to high hand out of gov loans. just was became a targetyurimon
- yup. im sure it involves special interests on the nonprofit side. also noticed a big WGU push here lately. Maybe help grow them and there pockets********
