WTF is going on in Tampa?????
Management meetings too early?????
Elizabeth Warren here....Enough is Enough
Thanks for giving me the ammo I need to stay in the public view for the next several months. Student loan rates are ridiculous. I came up with the idea that students should be offered education loans at the same interest rates that the government... — read more
Heald VA students in CA completing degrees free of charge
When the CA VA announced that tuition and housing would not be covered for Heald College students effective October 2014, Heald offered free tuition to any impacted student if they were within 2-3 quarters of graduating. Nearly 100 students accepted... — read more
If loans are forgiven or tuition refunded, do students still get transcripts or educational verifications?
There's a lot of postings about loan forgiveness. If this happens, would students still be issued transcripts or verification of education? Seems analogous to returning something at a store: if you are issued a refund, you surrender the merchandise... — read more
Sale closes on or before Jan 31, 2015 How does this affect vacation time loading and offer letters
This date was in 8k along with a March 31, 2015 date for forebearance (but I think that refers to creditors). It seems like this movie will never end. We need to know if we have a job, how much it pays and whether all of our vacation time loads Jan... — read more
Hey CCi stipend collectors! Get ready for loan forgiveness. Me and my peeps will sue ED and win for you. Join my campaign now #WarriorLiz2016
As for you guys running this circus of an acquisition...me and 12 of my Senate Democrat peeps yanked a knot in Arne Duncan, who is now in possession of our long list of demands. He has 30 days to respond, but he is currently speechless and has asked... — read more
All RVPAs gone
RVPOs and Divisional leadership unchanged
Goodbye Jim Askins
You were seriously the best boss I ever had. Not looking forward to working without you.
DS about to literally blow his lid?!?
Something is up with DS. Seriously, he's in an absolute seething DS rage and keeps sneaking out with his phone. All kinds of mysterious activity around him today. Anyone who checks this board out in on the scoop? Is it too much to hope that he's on... — read more
Durbin: “I Begged The Education Department” To Cut Funds To Disgraced For-Profit College
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, the top Senate Democrat criticized the federal government’s continued bankrolling of a disgraced for-profit college operator CCi posted on Dec. 12, 2014, at 2:18 p.m... — read more
Where are our offer letters?

Anyone know anything about Mrs. Lusson?
I work in admissions and we have Mrs. Lusson as our president now. What do you think of her? We can't tell.
Do you think ECMC will meet with employees individually or send out surveys to current staff?
Do you think they will meet with us and get our opinion on our management currently? I know our President and Dean are making the move as well even though they do stuff the "Corinthian way" which by that I mean "shady". I have been with Corinthian a... — read more
13 Senators want to know NOW if Dept of Ed will discharge student loans at corrupt schools where laws are broken. Mass
Did CCi fake graduation and placement rates? Yep. Engage in deceptive marketing practices? Yep. Continue to sell students high interest loans? Yep. The senators maintain that under federal law, the Department of Education is empowered to cancel... — read more
The real CA AG information regarding CCi
This may be old news and passed along elsewhere, but I haven't seen it. This page is a FAQ on the California Attorney General's suit against CCi. I think it's useful because I've seen a lot of falsehoods floating around here. Note that this is only... — read more
HEALD TO BE SHUT DOWN.
Heald is scheduled to be shut down in January after CCI files its Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
GTFO, leave, just stop posting how much you hate your job
You do know that you can all leave anytime you want? Walkouts, sick calls don't mean a hill of beans unless you are union and protected. What done is done so accept it or leave. You are not entitled to anything in life. Pull up pants and man the f*&K... — read more
Scheduled for Wednesday 12/31
There has been a secret list passed around EUO - TAMPA and it has received an early show of major support. 56 people have already agreed by signature as it makes its strategic way around the building. We will not be subjected to EUO guidelines before... — read more
pending law suit
Employees in California were sent via mail, an option that we can or cannot be included in this law suit. It was re: lunch breaks and working 10am-10pm back to back with no break at all... I cannot find the firm that is handling this case! Does... — read more
"Student Debt Relief" is Just Another Predator
Yet another predator takes a bite from working class people. From Genesis Loans to "student debt relief.".....http://www.buzzfeed.com/mollyhensleyclancy/student-loan-relief
Sure hope come January the ECMC posters will go away and whine on the ECMC board. Would you cry harder if you were in California?
At least you have a shot at working with a company that may make the changes they promise - CA employees may not have jobs come January 15 so stop your sobbing and complaining - you haven't even worked for ECMC yet and be grateful you have a shot!
Friends of Elizabeth Warren
I just don't get it. Elected officials want ED to develop the criteria for discharging student debt if a college acts fraudulently or breaks promises. CCi has made so many different promises (and broken them) to so many different students that it... — read more
The late and great Jack reports!
As we all know Carmela is off to new tortures, but Jack just sent in the letter stating that he is officially giving back INK TONERS!!! NO MORE DOUBLE SIDED PRINTING! WE HAVE INK TONERS BACK! WERE SAVED!
Hands up don't shoot
ECMC will lay you off again and SOCLE SUCKS...
Hey ECMC - someone is giving you some good advice here!
If ECMC wants some good advice, here it is. CCi is the most top-heavy company I've ever worked for. The way the career path works at Socle is (1) start really sucking up to anyone in management, (2) be admitted into the boys' club and be assigned 1-2... — read more
Wow, lots of Indian gone, but the Chiefs are all still here?!?
I just got our newest phone extension list. Comparing it to one I got a couple of years ago, there are a LOT fewer workers, but somehow even MORE managers. How in the heck does that even happen? They do nothing!!!
