PORN STARS, STRIPPERS, RAMPANT FRAUD, AND NUMEROUS ILLEGAL PRACTICES COMPRISE THE TRADITION OF EDMC'S WESTERN STATE COLLEGE OF LAW AT ARGOSY

As if it did not have a bad enough reputation already, the ABA-accredited Western State College of Law at Argosy (Formerly Western State University College of Law) in Fullerton, California, has further tarnished its reputation as a sham school and has been shown to exercise fraudulent practices, as have many of the other institutions owned by Education Management Corporation ("EDMC"). EDMC is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based operator of for-profit post-secondary educational institutions that purchased Western State University College of Law in 2009, subsequently changed the name of the institution to Western State University College of Law at Argosy, in order to seemingly use it as a for-profit revenue generating educational institution, like it has attempted to do with nearly all of its over one hundred acquisitions. After being sold to EDMC, Western State traded a history of respected legal education that generated fine legal professionals, f4rom motivated young attorneys to respected seasoned judges. According to several legal publications, within the last few years Western State University College of Law at Argosy had lowered its expectations to recruiting naive recent college graduates to the likes of Heather Swift, a.k.a. Molly Price, adult entertainer, pornography actress, stripper (Spearmint Rhino in Industry, California), rumored prostitute (see her VIP room reviews from the aforementioned strip club), and confirmed fellatio expert/cumshot target. She is also arguably Western State College of Law at Argosy’s most famous alumni, based upon web search results.

Prior to discussing the accomplishments of Heather Swift, let's review this diamond in the rough law school located in Orange County, California.

What kind of name is Western State College of Law at Argosy? That is seemingly the longest, most confusing name that an educational institution could choose. Only a group of geniuses pretending to run a law school that report to the inept board of directors of EDMC could create such an outrageous name for a law school. Western State College of Law at Argosy (Formerly Western State University College of Law) always seemed like a sham from a law student or attorney's perspective and with the recent developments and rumored bankruptcy of EDMC, Western State College of Law at Argosy may fall victim and be closing its doors for good in the near future. Let's analyze the name, for starters...

  1. "Western" - Western is a direction, not a name, state, or city, unlike most all other ABA-accredited law schools

  2. "State" - This is an EDMC school that is for-profit and is anything but a non-profit state school

  3. "College" - This ABA law school was a graduate school only and did not have connected undergraduate institution

  4. "at Argosy" - Where is Argosy? Is it a city in the state of Western?

A terrible new name for a seemingly now terrible law school. This "institution of higher learning" - like all EDMC properties, whether it be Brown-Mackie College, Argosy, University, South University, and another dozen or so diploma-mills steal money in exchange for the equivalent of a degree on a Post-It.

After a little research, one may find that this law school is in Fullerton, California. Well, for now. It seems they may be moving, according to their Facebook and Twitter. Apparently they sold the law school building and its law library last year, then sued the purchasers and are now without a permanent home that is not seemingly on a month-to-month lease for six figures each month. It is truly sad that EDMC had to sell the building in which it had been a legitimate law school for decades to Cal-State Fullerton and then lease it back for six figures per month. According to said social media outlets, Western State proudly displays "groundbreaking" of a new campus - which is essentially leased office space in an incomplete commercial area of Orange County, several cities away from its current home.

Amazingly, this so-called law school wants to charge its students for an outrageously overpriced education, but it does not have the common sense or basic legal knowledge to read the contract in which it entered that obviously stated that any changes needed to be in writing according to the terms of the agreement to which it was a party, along with Cal-State Fullerton (http://www.dailytitan.com/2015/02/western-state-college-of-law-files-lawsuit-calling-for-extended-lease/).

With that being said, it is time to discuss potentially the most interesting characteristic of this gem of a law school, possibly its most famous graduate, Western State College of Law at Argosy Class of 2013 alumnae Heather Swift, also known as the pseudonyms "Holly Price" and "Marilyn Michelle" , a porn star, adult entertainer, and stripper who apparently passed the California Bar Exam (http://abovethelaw.com/2014/12/porn-star-passes-most-difficult-bar-exam-in-the-country/). While passing the California Bar Exam is seemingly an accomplishment, having your own personal entry in "Boobpedia" is arguably a greater accomplishment (for the record: 32DDs are obviously enhanced, she shaves, and she has expert experience in full-frontal, blowjob, anal, and vaginal sex - which is exactly what I look for when seeking legal advice - http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Holly_Price). Use your favorite search engine to see her in action... not in the courtroom, but in the bedroom. It seems as if MILF porn, facials, and cum guzzling are her specialty. I wonder if Western State College of Law at Argosy focused on the "Art of the Creampie" in addition to its stellar law preparation classes. In all reality, several individuals with close ties to the law school had allegedly witnessed or were aware of several quid pro quo agreements behind closed doorsin a sex for grades exchange. While this adult video vixen may be the most famous graduate of Western State College of Law at Argosy, her influence may not be enough to save this trainwreck of a law school. The dominoes are beginning to fall and the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Western State College of Law at Argosy should begin their preparation for saying goodbye to their law school. Rumors, including Western State University College of Law faculty members, as well as high-level EDMC staff have internally begun preparing for the shutdown of all EDMC properties, including Western State University College of Law, and contingency plans as an inevitable bankruptcy looms and doors close, most likely in 2016.

In conclusion, it is exceptionally sad that students and alumni of Western State University College of Law at Argosy originally may have attended or graduated from an entirely differently named law school, with different standards, different expectations, different faculty, even possibly a different name, as it was at one time named Western State University College of Law. The former institution prided itself on teaching and graduating fine attorneys and judges in an environment steeped in a tradition of esteemed legal education in the region. This tradition has been prostituted like the hookers it apparently now recruits and admits, only to have this once respected institution of legal education sold to Goldman-Sachs and their cronies via EDMC. EDMC managed this law school like it manages all of its other holdings, as properties, not schools built to make people better and more knowledgable in their specific fields of study. Due to the greed and fraulent nature of EDMC, Western State auctioned its ABA-accredidation, a rich history of accomplished legal professionals, and a once bright future to the highest bidde, EDMC, a maniplualitve den of thieves that not only destroyed any shred of dignity and itnegruty that the school once had, but traded an alumni base of accomplished attornyes and judges for experienced porn stars and strippers.

In addition to the imminent bankruptcy of EDMC, its is widely rumored that Western State College of Law will be closing its doors soon, forcing hundreds of students and dozens of faculty members scrambling to find resources to continue potential or current law careers.

Background checks are mostly for criminal activity. EDMC would reject her based on appearances and what potential students and their helicopter parents think. I have it from a good source that when some uptight religious mother saw life drawings in the hallway she complained to the school. So did the school stick up for the art? Did they tell there is a difference between pornography and art school illustration? Did they tell here to get over her phobia about the human body and that it was not something to be shameful for? NO. They took all of it down and replaced it with boring drawings of fruit and primitives. How do you think they would handle a porn star teaching in the school?

Im sorry, but you act like background checks mean something at EDMC... she could have had a job easy, porn or not. Some instructors at Ai have had EXTREMELY questionable pasts and were still hired.

Bo, ho, if you are an adult film actor it comes with the territory. Trust me, if she was going for a teaching job at EDMC they would totally use her background as a reason for rejection. But they will take here money as a student.

Hey its about time someone blows the top of the shady law school! No pun intended. They used that school as a way to connect with judges around OC to routinely get their lawsuits ruled in their favor or thrown out of court. Like asking them to teach a class at the school so that when the school ends up in court the judge cant imaging any wrong doing. Judges are just people. They can and have been as corrupt and one sided as anyone else in any white collar profession.

Slut shaming is so 1997. Can we re-focus on things like Todd Nelson and his jumping from shady for-profit to shady for-profit, leaving a trail of lawsuits and investigations in his wake? Or the fact that McEachan wants to push back on gainful employment rules that actually HELP students? Or the fact that the arbitration clause is hidden in the student handbook, making most who enroll completely clueless to the fact that they are effectively signing away their rights...

Nelson, McKernan, and McEachan should all be in jail. They are a much bigger problem than a girl who enjoys sex. Her career choices don't speak to her mental capacity, though some may argue there could be some sort of psychological trauma in her past that made her more vulnerable to this type of employment, which may also have contributed to her enrolling at a shady for-profit as well.

We already know the pain funnel tactics, so we shouldn't be surprised that people who may be "damaged" in some aspect (according to you) would be enrolled.

" if there is evidence that she entertained men illegally in the VIP room of the Industry, California Spearmint Rhino, that shows a lack of character and fitness to sit for the Bar."

Do you realize how absurd this statement is? Evidence is criminal record, not a job resume.

Jesus, why the slut-shaming? So gross. EDMC is a nasty company, but the focus on this woman is super creepy. The writer of this post is obviously a "fan" and has spent some time doing "research" on this school.

Most burglars, robbers, and embezzlers don't have student debt like this slut sucking dick for cash... that does not mean it is right. She's a ho. No one would take her seriously in a court room. Nor should they if there are many videos around of her getting double penetrated. lol

I absolutely hate EDMC and I will revel in the day that they go under, however, I think its pretty f***ed up to rip this woman apart on your post. Its her body and her choice and I get that you have the free speech to comment on her choices, but I have the free speech to call it wrong. Sex work is a job. Might not be your cup of tea, but she probably doesn't have student loans, either

LocalCarDeaker,

There is a reason why you are what you are. All the post is stating is how asinine the standards EDMC made a once prominent law school in Orang County. Additionally, if there is evidence that she entertained men illegally in the VIP room of the Industry, California Spearmint Rhino, that shows a lack of character and fitness to sit for the Bar. All in all, though, you have to admit, this situation is so sad it is funny... Have a sense of humor, my friend. :) :) :)

Peace to all - may you get all your cash back and then some... in riches of gold or grins.

Pretty sexist post "Heather Swift, a.k.a. Molly Price, adult entertainer, pornography actress, stripper" Your assumption is that some one is dumb because they do a job you probably can't; I'm assuming a natural gift of ugliness on your part. Last I knew adult entertainment is legal. Gloria Steinem was a Playboy Bunny, an adult entertainer. Carmen Diaz was an adult entertainer, same as John Hamm, Former Governor of California in gay porn, and then there was that Christian Icon Mary Magdalene.

Getting a law degree is the vestibule, the big thing is what do you do after you graduate and get licensed.

Silly post
