Thread regarding Corinthian Colleges Inc. layoffs

What makes this Parthenon story even more enraging is that CCi has held the event at Mt. Vernon, where George Washington enslaved men and women. Today, there is another form of bondage, debt peonage, that is destroying the lives of former students and their families. A large number of these people are people of color, almost all are from the working classes..... http://adjunctjustice.tumblr.com/post/78770217174/corinthian-colleges-2014-parthenon-to-be-held-at

There are facts. Who can pull the expense records for Parthenon should these be public since this is a publicly traded company

The mass layoff of people a couple weeks ago is that not proof what about the AG lawsuit

The hiring of Anthony Guida the same week they cut 700 employees as it was said google him

The comments on this site about the untouchable select few

And the continued planning of this multi million dollar party Partheon on loan money from the student loan income that some come from the government equals the tax payer

People comment here it is the job of the journalist to research more details

Camden kid thank you for your work and posts here that are professional keep going hopeful the LA times or the OC register will expose this place

Good luck getting the conservative OC Register to expose CCi. Even the LA Times would be better, but you'd have to do some serious legwork (including phone calls). Does SoCal have any alternative newspapers that would be willing to do the work? If so, CCi employees will have to do the leg work. Believe me, most journalists won't publish anything unless you have documentation that can be verified. Then they are still wary of being sued by the corporation. Remember, CCI has hired a former Enron prosecutor (John C. Huesten) to defend them. Some writers won't touch the story because it's not big enough (most people know of the fraud, it's only the most vulnerable that don't, and they don't read the OC Reigister or LA Times).

I would like a reporter to expose the greed and unfair practices at CCi. The OC Register should focus on this topic instead of publishing this place as one if the top places to work in Orange County. Parthenon needs to be cancled and the expenses need to be made public. Someone had posted it is just a couple thousand dollars try more in the million dollar range. Good luck getting information it is top secret. These disadvantaged students maybe need to get media attention getting groups on their side ACLU or another voice for these minority people that are victimized by their vision of a dream.

A very reliable source tells me that a Corinthian Colleges VP is looking at these posts. It appears he's sharing these posts with other executives. I've promised that I won't mention his name yet; I promised I wouldn't say yet. I'm sure this VP knows that lots of loyal Corinthian Colleges employees have been thrown under the bus, and that several more are being prepared for termination. I wonder what he has to say about these terminations. Workers, if you would like to say something to this VP, what would you say?

We lost a lot of good people in the last two weeks. It has nothing to do with their performance. It has to do with the tight fisted idiots

who don't know what to do but start to cut. They fail to look at more efficient, and cost effective strategies

This company has turned into an animal with limbs severed off flaying around, and one more minute closer to death.

Ultimately, the board of directors need to terminate the top 3 executives, clean house in CA, consolidate, rebrand and focus on what is most

Important....getting the students to graduation and gainfully employed.

CamdenKid: you need to focus on who is exactly being admitted into the schools.

We have students that are in the 65-85 range and have no intent ok paying back their loans.

However, it's bigger than the for-profits. It starts with the government regulation on who can receive federal aid. Not to mention that 25% of the

Students have no intent on graduating or, getting jobs because they milk the system of pell grants. It's not just the schools-it's the people that go and play the game and know exactly what the hell they are doing. It's called regulation and reform of the entire system. Not just the for-profits, and it is not just CCI.

Perhaps, more people would come forward if they didn't feel their jobs were in dire jeopardy that

Bust their asses to make ends meet and are good hardworking people.

You are so off mark that it's pathetic. The ones laid off weren't the ones perpetrating the fraud so don't make it like CCI is cleaning house because they aren't!!! They are just unloading the higher paid nobodies so that they can keep all the lesser paid nobodies to do the same work and cut their greedy corners where they can.

Corporate exec, yes, but not at CCi. Anyone can recognize histrionics and logical disconnects, Dahn. Instead of spinning around the Parthenon expenses, focus on the real issue, which is the deceptive recruiting techniques that fed CCi's growth. That's the real problem. Spending a few grand on cheap wine for the sales reps is a side issue.

Danny Weil and I have done a considerable amount of work researching and writing these articles. We are not alone. David Halperin and Chris Kirkham at the Huffington Post, and Steve Burd have been writing about for-profits for years. Although I can't be sure, Anonymous 5947 sounds like a corporate exec who is using "techniques of neutralization" to rationalize unethical and perhaps criminal behavior from the top down. This should be a message to those at lower levels, if you haven't been privy to this; those higher than you will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat if they have to. At some point, however, those in leadership are going to have to explain what they knew when, and the chain will lead all of the way up (if invetigators take their time working on this). Young executives at COCO, if you do something now, you may be able to avoid handcuffs years from now. I some of you will have the humility and the courage to stand up against this ethical (and possibly criminal) activity.

The author of that article exhibits many symptoms of Histrionic Personality Disorder (HSD).

There is also a flaw in the logic. People are complaining about the layoffs, but the only reason anyone is losing a job now is because CCi grew too large as a result of the deceptive marketing and recruiting strategy. Who was doing the actual lying to potential students? Mostly the people who are being laid off, along with their supervisors, who assisted in perpetrating the fraud.
