I have to say -- I am proud to be part of Zenith. I think that there is going to some tough times during the transition, but for those of us that care. This is going to a great thing. Please post some positive comments about how you feel.
How can Hawn and ECMC BOD maintain any credibility with COOK on the BOD?
When will DOE demand resignation?
Response From Mr. Hawn (1-19-2015)
This was Mr. Hawn's response to my email about your concerns: "We are not bringing over any of the executive officers or those in roles not needed for a nonprofit institution and certain others for various other reasons."
ANIMAL COUNCIL or PARTHENON?

Really Changing Corinthian Colleges: Can't Tell the Players Without a Scorecard (Paul Mitchell)
Don't waste your time writing to the DoED if ECMC is unethical. Undersecretary Paul Mitchell helped bail out Corinthian Colleges without calling for major reform. Why, because he's a tool of corporations, like many in the Obama administration... — read more
Whose the ECMC twit running marketing?
Cook, Hawn, Lanouette and now this! When will the consumer advocates, accreditors and DOE grab hold of this show?
Excited to start fresh
To new beginnings! Tuition cuts and a company who believes in helping students. Can't wait for the 2nd.
DON'T LET THE SHAMELESS PROPAGANDA FOOL YOU!
FACTS: CCI will no longer exist in the near future. CCI will either be sold off in parts, liquidated over time or go bankrupt – maybe a combination of the three. This is mandated by the Department of Education. The reason for this DOE mandate is... — read more
New Horizon and a New Day
Feeling thankful that we will move forward with Zenith. I am excited about the future. Sounds like new COO is solid. Also, looks like they are bringing over some good people from the corp office. Glad I decided to stick this out.
Negativity makes my day.
I love to read the posts about going to the feds (frauds), bad leadership hires, Hawn is not prepared and that CCi is evil. More then likely posts from employees that are those that you want out of your life. Negative contributors that pretend to... — read more
New journey is inspiring.
Excited for the future. Sounds like we will make a positive impact with new ownership. A chance to really do some good for people that have been failed by the high school system and CC debacle we like to call higher ed. Cant wait to get started.
Want exemption from Gainful Employment Regs and Access to More $$$ per Student? Convert to Non Profit AND FIRE TAINTED LEADERSHIP.
CCi's shareholders have already bailed, so their permission shouldn't be a problem. Will ECMC learn from Herzing, GCU, and Keiser? We will see how smart they really are. "Earlier this month, Herzing University in Milwaukee announced it had converted... — read more
The Rehabilitation of CCi
I, for one, feel quite relieved after reading these new positive posts regarding the proposed ECMC acquisition. There is little question that they can immediately turn around 10+ years of CCi lying, cheating and stealing by retaining CCi’s immoral... — read more
A bit thick don't you think...
So what PR Firm (or Jack M nephew) has CCi hired to candy coat this site with sappy posts? Albeit entertaining, it is awfully transparent. Stop trying so hard - you sound ridiculous.

Feds looking in wrong place.
UIC President (Chicago) did not have her contract renewed. She has been given a $96,000 bonus on top of her 500,000 salary. In addition, the school had purchased her a million dollar home, spent a million rehabbing it and over 100,000 per year on... — read more
Looks like strong leadership will be put into place.
I am quite happy with the COO hire. Bio shows that he undetstands operations and is balanced with a strong academics background. Plus he is a published author. This is an indication of positive things to come. Plus it appears that carrying over... — read more
ECMC doing some good things ...
I heard about some of ecmc's first steps and focuses. Looks like they are headed in the right direction. Makes you feel positive about the future. So much negativity out there. Happy to hear about doing right by students.
Chicago Region
Understand things have been difficult. Hang in there. Rumor has it that things will work out but take some time. Zenith is committed to you guys. It should all work out in the end.
Great things to come ....
Sounds like zenith has some great plans to transform us. Very excited about the new journey. This is going to be great for students and employees. We will be a positive force in the community.
To all the trolls out there ...haters; what will you do when this sale is completed?
For all the haters, sh-t employees, terminated losers, bottom 10 percent and basically low life's .... what are you going to do once the sale is completed and Zenith moves forward on a journey to rewrite vocational education? None of your dooms day... — read more
Buyer Beware (ECMC)
If CCi made airplanes, would you fly in one?
ECMC deal to be unwound
It looks more and more likely the ECMC deal will be unwound. DOE is getting LOTS of pressure from Congress to call the whole thing off. Ironically, Congress is willing to write off the CCI federal student loans as a loss. DOE has told ECMC in so many... — read more
Heald college enrollment at record lows.
Heald college enrollment in January will be under 5000 even lower than the previous 2006 record. Heald is behind on the rent and is going to get sued by the landlord.
Just heard you all got Lanoutte to run the operations for ECMC.
OMG and HAHAHA! The Fat Lady Has Sung....
COCO, ECMC, ZEG...Gainful Employment?
Where exactly are the 57 campuses that are planned to be acquired by ECMC/Zenith? If the deal goes through, does that mean that those schools will no longer be for-profit colleges? If so, does that mean that these schools will face less scrutiny and... — read more
Stop your bitching (wyotech)

Heffers and bulls there will be no opertunity e's to counter the offers
Same old bullshit. People get in the cattle chute get your new Z branded to your ass and get your dosage of same old medicine injected in your rump.zenith is hiring same brainwashed HR people. Nothing is changing. This is straight from Sunshine
New SEC Filing
Not unexpected. http://investors.cci.edu/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1437749-15-699&CIK=1066134

Guess what?
The OPEIDs for Santa Ana, Ontario Metro, Chelsea, Bedford Park, Marietta, Atlanta West, Norcross, Columbus, Jonesboro, Midcities are changing on 1/15/2015. Looks like the phases as referenced by Jack's update have started
Prepwork before the sale
In anticipation of the sale closing on Monday, February 2, 2015 for most schools, ECMC/Zenith Education Group plans to send individual offer letters to prospective Zenith/ECMC employees during the week of January 26. Upon accepting the offer letter... — read more
Summary
You have a leadership team that has failed in every respect. They have taken advantage of students, employees, stockholders and tax payers for so long that there is little credibility. This ECMC deal is true to CCi’s form and reputation – shady. Few... — read more
