ITT Spokesperson Chris Hardman says Art Institute Closings are Merely Rumor

Just received an email from Chris Hardman, an EDMC spokesperson. According to Hardman "You are asking me about rumors, and we do not comment on rumors and speculation."

CK...you need to find a new mule to whip...I read the American Dissident info about you, long, long, read.. You are nothing more than a trouble maker. For the love of God, the prison system won't let YOU teach prisoners. No wonder YOU have hard on for the education system. They have rejected you in soooooo many ways...so take your pandering off the site, you have no skin in the game.

And you photo on FB is a young black man, you are neither, you are not young and you are not white...when did your meds wear off.

To quote American Dissident....SILENCE....nothing but crickets from you....

CK- how so? Students who start at a school going into teach out are guaranteed to be able to finish- classes will be held for them to complete the degree- just a matter of where, with what quality of faculty, etc.

It's not like the decision makers wake up one day and decide to make a brash decision like that on a whim... These types of things are often planned far in advance

@Anonymous95048, by not reporting already planned "teach outs" or closings as soon as possible, EDMC would be facing more legal issues in the long run. From what I gather, there have been some good teachers (and students) at the Art Institutes, but maybe that's all ancient history. Then again, we're talking about a company essentially owned by a corporation (KKR) that knows or cares little or nothing about education. This is a scenario very similar to the Corinthian Colleges/EDMC debt collector debacle.................https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/edmc-keeps-art-institutes-students-staff-dark-dahn-shaulis?trk=mp-author-card........................http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Management_Corporation

CK- right, of course they will not label it as a leak, because then that would be a confirmation before they wanted to/planned to announce it. Like I said, they plan to start a few more classes at those campuses, and confirming that the info was a leak WILL hurt the bottom line, as many of those students would not start if they hear the news

I'm sorry for the mistaken headline. What I gather from Chris Hardman (EDMC) is that as long as there is no documentation, EDMC will frame it as "rumor" or "speculation" rather than a leak. If someone wants to send me an anonymous email telling me otherwise, it's not difficult. To the people who have this alleged information, you can save hundreds or thousands of peope some heartache by presenting the documentation. Several people have emailed me through theanonymousemail.com

wait never mind you confused me when you said ITT.

But yeah, anyway being he works for edmc why would he admit to that when there is another class or two to start at those soon to be closed campuses

It's "rumor and speculation" at this point because they have not officially stated anything... Just because it is rumor and speculation does not mean it isn't true

Why would someone from another company put his ass on the line and go on record with another company's inside info?

http://www.theamericandissident.org/pc.html :

I wondered about CK...did some googling of my own...the link above will take you to an email exchange dating back to 2009

Below is the unaltered email exchange (with the exception of my bold printing of certain points and absurd statements) that I had with Dahn Shaulis, who wanted me to eliminate this very introduction. Evidently, I decided to keep it because it situated the exchange and, as he noted on several occasions, I was the editor (i.e., "gatekeeper"), while he was not. Indeed, I suggested he get off his ass and start his own literary journal so he could do whatever the hell he wanted and gain an understanding as to how much "work" it really took to create and edit a journal like The American Dissident.

Shaulis decided to advertise this page by sending out the following message with the page's URL: "Tod Slone, editor of the American Dissident, a racist and sexist? You decide.

Goes further to state:

Shaulis had initiated contact with me out of the blue by sending a copy of the email he'd sent to the Warden of the prison where he was formerly employed as a caseworker. The Warden did not want him to teach at the prison.

Shaulis didn't get it. Bennett College and Grambling State University did not want me to return to teach. That was understandable. After all, I was critical and they were institutions (HBCUs) closed to vigorous debate, cornerstone of democracy, despite appearances.

Is Dahn Shaulis, adjunct instructor in Criminal Justice at the College of Southern Nevada, both logic challenged, racism obsessed and PC indoctrinated? You decide.” I suppose I could round up all the Criminal Justice instructor emails and shoot it out. You say the word! I’m ready. SILEEEEEEEEENCE. You can’t win this one, Dahn. LOGIC is not on your side. The only thing on your side is HOSTILITY for me.

Dahn,

You’ll never cease to surprise me how you manage to twist things around aberrantly or put words in my mouth that I’ve never said or even intended saying. How did your mind get to the point where logic, reason, and proof seem irrelevant?

Have you ever criticized a black person, Dahn? If so, whom and when? SILENCEEEEE! You are a racist against whites, even though you’re white.

Well you get the point, this is his new scab to pick...he has no skin in the game, just googles and comments...a white man and here all along I assumed he was black...so CK...move along, the meds have worn off, you posted ITT to EDMC...you are an instigator...since you can google and post, well I followed your lead

Good day to you sir

Wait until next week or two when the campuses close, he will change his tune then. Rumor becomes reality. What a douchebag.
