Oh ECMC, you have done it now. Lawsuits are coming. Students are p-ss-d about predatory lending practices. You are CCI 2.0 Wheaton and his minions running a scam. Packaging a Non-Profit but scamming students out of millions in loans. Keep it... — read more

Alterius closings on ED's October school closings list
Here are the listings on the U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION CLOSED SCHOOL UNIT https://www2.ed.gov/offices/OSFAP/PEPS/docs/oct18sec1.pdf
Cheap Schools
I think Mathis got the school fairly cheap and he had investors so not much skin in the game. I also believe he owns the apartments there and will rent out to UW students so he will make his money there. The school will close within a year.
Laramie WyoTech Struggles to Recruit Students
Things aren't going to well for WyoTech's rebirth. Jim Mathis is discovering why ECMC pulled the plug on WyoTech, no one wants to go there. Classrooms are empty and the next start in January looks even more dismal. With the economy on the upswing and... — read more

You fill in the blank.... The pathetic demise of zenith education group is in the hands of Dave Hawn, Peter Taylor, and finally Jeremy Wheaton! I want to thank you for leaving all the incompetent and abusive people that only want " YES MEN" in charge... — read more

Tuesday, August 14, 2018 I’m Goldie Blumenstyk, a senior writer at The Chronicle of Higher Education covering innovation in and around academe. Here’s what’s on my mind this week: Can this tiny career college really become ‘America’s work-force... — read more

TIME TO CLOSE THIS BLOG
It's been a crazy 5 years for us. The last couple of years under CCI and then 3 years under Zenith. 98% of us have moved on to bigger and better opportunities and a few near retirement age are suffering through uncertainty and financial problems... — read more
Irony
Install the wrong people with the wrong education background in the wrong places in a business that they have no idea about and let them run wild like they are the leaders at the white house. Lets hire a bunch of teachers with fudged resumes and... — read more
The funny part? ECMC employees think they are safe.
The axe will fall Q4 at ECMC corporate. If employees in MN think they are safe, think again great white North.

Another diploma mill has closed it's doors
It's next to impossible to teach the entitlement generation how to use their brains to think independently. It's completely impossible to teach that generation how to use common sense and logic to repair anything mechanical or electrical. I'm not... — read more
The Funny Part
The Wyo Tech peeps in Laramie were so o wrong in everything they did. They did not provide excellent customer service in Financial Aid department like Blairesville and Daytona. Some of the FA reps were good like Lori and Moe. Te admissions team under... — read more
I'm the real Slim Shady

WHERE'S THE NEWS ON THE SALE OF WYOTECH?
Looks like mic drop was correct, ECMC isn't selling WyoTech they're closing it.
Turned Very Quiet In Here
Where did all the people go that were positive WyoTech was staying open?
Sale of WyoTech Isn't Going to Happen
Once Mathis completes the Due Diligence he will find out this isn't the WyoTech he knew back in 2002. There's a ton more regulations and hoops to jump through plus he has to hire an Independent Monitor for a half million a year.
Nearing The End
18 days till the END OF WYOTECH Yehaw!!!

So Whats the latest on Wyo Tech????????????
I heard rumblings that they will re open in July? Is that correct or a pipe dream?
Don't Call It A Comeback........
Ahhh, spoken by the great LL Cool J. Here's how this little plan will workout. The 3 remaining campuses Tampa - Norcross - Bissonnet will announce teach-out by Q2 of 2019. I attend all the meetings, see all the emails of the new programs, and watch... — read more
Be Accountable !!!!
So - looks like another Town Hall meeting is scheduled in a few weeks. We again get to hear about the financial boom that ECMC is in. Hence they're worth 10 billion in assets. Another comedic finding is how worried Jeremy Wheaton and his legion of... — read more
Almost Over
Within a little less than two months the transformation will be complete. Think of how many lives would have not been destroyed if Everest and WyoTech would have just closed three years ago. Such a shame the scam was allowed to go on for three more... — read more

Former Everest lead generator in trouble
Corinthian Colleges may be gone, but a company that targeted vulnerable people, including vets is still doing bad business. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lead-generator-quinstreet-preying-vets-misleading-shipping-shaulis/
Writing on the wall
One trip into a meeting without talking and just listening is all a person needed to see the sink hole coming. WyoTech was guided by people with no experience in the industry it focused on. When a president makes a decision to remove the most... — read more
I don't know why some people think that management was "safe" from RIFs
The sad truth is that many of us were laid-off; fired with fake charges and false performance reports; and sent home to work there but slowly "disappeared" into the sunset. My disappearance was about 2 1/2 years ago and although it was a bad... — read more
You can still be a decent human being
I wish I could feel sorry for the ones losing their jobs now, but I don't. I've been waiting and hoping to see Zenith fail for three years and it was music to my ears when I heard the news in November and have been counting down the months since... — read more
It Took Three Years to Accomplish The Goal of Shutdown
It only took three years for ECMC to accomplish what it and Obama set out to do, SHUT THE SCHOOLS DOWN. No loss to tax payers and millions in the pockets of ECMC executives all at the expense of the students and employees. Do you feel used and... — read more
