When is the form 10-k due?
At one time it was 60 days, but then as CCi became smaller it went to 75 days. Is it up to 90 yet, or does it go to 90 after this 10-k?
No guarantee
There is no guarantee they will be able to sell all of these campuses. And right now Socle depends on CCI to pay the bills. Socle needs to obtain enough clients to operate alone without being dependent on CCI. Right now they can't do that. If CCI... — read more

CCI's Vision and how they rob the Government
Enrolling students who can not read or write and then expecting instructors to perform miracles... This is CCI's vision! It's FRAUD, shut them down TODAY

In the fine print at the bottom of Everest.edu:"Our campuses provide students with short-term career training in a variety of popular programs."
So we can't really say that they were lying. One day with a temp agency clearly counts as a "short-term career."

CCI Should Just Put Their Money Where Their Mouth Is
Instead of the 'Jack's Facts' diatribe sent to the media, CCI ought to do one of 2 things: 1) Show the media the their success story students, which we have yet to see, or 2) Suck it up, admit mistakes were made, and be decent enough to apologize... — read more

How mant students have you tried to reach for participation?
Have had students with no participation for almost 2 weeks. Why bother trying to get them on the phone to participate when the same issue will happen next week? I see a large amount of drops when the 14-day appeals start going out!
For those of you employees convinced you are keeping your jobs:

Here's a question I've had for a long time: If students only check in to keep attendance up, what's the point?
Time and again I have students just show to get marked present, them disappear for another 2 weeks. Then around week 10 they panic because they are failing. I fail students who do not do the work. But why is it important for them to not get kicked... — read more

TELL THE STUDENTS THE TRUTH AND QUIT HIDING BEHIND CCI SKIRT TAIL
