I have to admit, I'm surprised I don't see any posts about the call held yesterday by "huddle around the campfire" Michael Stiglish. The call was held for Directors and above and I only hope that ECMC had a representative on the call. He repeatedly... — read more 

Anybody knows? I got my degree there.

For lease signs were put up today at the California Ontario campus.....

I have two classes loaded in eCollege and one actually has students in it so classes will be continuing which leads me to believe the purchase WILL happen this month.

Just looking at the ECMC website today (again) and clicked on the news for 11/20/2014 when they announced the acquisition. When the annoucement was made, I went to their site as well and read the same posting. At the very bottom, there was a hyper... — read more

It's a done deal. CCI will be filing Chapter 7 BK in Feb. 2015 at the latest as it is out of cash. CCI isn't paying the bills and is looking at LOTS of lawsuits such as unlawful detainer, etc. The suppliers haven't been getting paid and are about to... — read more

The closing of the deal is in phases starting on 1/12.and wrapping up by 2/5. Another nail in the coffin for naysayers

It looks more and more likely that the ECMC deal will be "unwound". The congress is getting on DOE's back and basically saying or at least A LARGE NUMBER saying "Let's write CCI off and forgive the loans". ECMC has already told DOE that this is a... — read more 

People at CSC. Do you think that ECMC is going to keep your operation in Santa Ana? Do you think they are going to keep renting such an expensive building? Unless you are willing to move or they are willing to pay California orbit rent, you need to... — read more

Just drove by CCI headquarters in Santa Ana (near the 55 and 405), and I noticed the CCI was taken off the building. It used to be visible from the freeway. Anyone know what's going on?
