No kidding Sanford Brown is and was already a college, but IADTs accreditation stayed with each campus. The same will be so with each Everest campus that ECMC purchases. Yeah, your still working, selling drugs in the hood where you live. Slob
I suspect that it wouldn't be difficult to find sources that cite many organizations with the targeting of specific ideal demographic candidates, such as the US Military.
A good example of the propaganda that's been used to guide and mislead public opinion. Many people are able to see through these attempts, but many absorb the bias without doing any objective research of their own. The media is "easy information" for the masses, and many will fail to see the hidden agenda buried within it, such as the desire to influence the stock market for this sector, or fuel a political objective. A reliable news source will make efforts to remain objective and give a fair overview of both sides of the story. This author is clearly trying to make people angry, one of the key footprints of the type of propaganda that many people are vulnerable to.
234 still working Sanford Brown is already a school.
David Halperin lol
225 you're an idiot. Probably one of these goons that was terminated due to the fact that you've be deemed economically not viable and unemployable. The a creditation stays with each individual campus. See IADT who was bought by Sanford-Brown, I have friends that are still employed there after the purchase. You're just bitter because you still can't find a job and you're living on crackers and water.
Are you all thing a for -profit college can be bought & turned into a nom-profit like flipping a switch?? Foolhardy thought. If you don't already have a school to merge it into accreditation & approvals enter the picture, Admissions Socle you. Are out of a job instantly. Ha ha
Huffington Post? Now that is a trusted news source like Jon Stewart
Wow, people rely on the Huffington Post and its crowd-sourced "news"?
That article won't mean shit once ECMC finalizes the deal to purchase those select Everest campuses in Nov as a NON PROFIT COLLEGE
My best guess is that the guy who wrote this article has a short position in some a for-profit stock whose price is going up or went up, and he was forced to cover, losing lots of money in the process. It's the only real reason to keep beating a dead horse message.
Tough opinion read for sure, but it is the public perception that every allegation is fact. If you are still in the labeled for-profit world (BTW...if you are in post-secondary education at all, it is for profit)hang in there. Plenty of us doing the right things, every time, to make life a little better for those that self-select to show up in our hallways.
Wow, that article is so backwards.
