Remember when COCO was 82 cents a share
Some day in the future we will be discussing the 82 cent share price. Will that be when it's $1.64 or 41 cents?

Profiting off the mentally handicapped? Has this happened at your school?

Everyone have a get holiday......and no Art we are not working it.....
Dear 10595, I hope your question is a rhetoric one. The President and the current administration Strongly support
public community colleges and non-profit colleges. They would like for-profit colleges to disappear. However politically that is not possible. Regardless the art of rules and regulations will bring the for-profit to their knees.
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama says the U.S. must work harder to make sure veterans get the opportunities and benefits they have earned.
Does making sure that veterans get the opportunities and benefits they have earned means being prohibited from going to any CCi school, or any other for-profit school?

$1 a share?
When will the share price be back above $1? And that Shah Capital purchased so many shares above $1... If Shah wants to keep the price above $1, it may soon own the entire company, if it has sufficient capital.
Teachers?
How does anyone teach at this school when all I have time to do is try and make sure each and every student will come back to the next class. "Could you have done anything more to save the student?"
Entrance Exam
CCI lacks a student entrance exam. Question is why doesn't the federal government mandate one?
