Bottom line, UOP was found guilty of illegal activity - END OF STORY. According to the GAO report, On Aug. 3, the U.S. General Accounting Office issued a 30-page report concluding that for-profit educational institutions like Apollo Group Inc.’s (NASDAQ: APOL) University of Phoenix, have engaged in an illegal and fraudulent course of action designed to recruit students and overcharge the federal government for the cost of such education.

Second, if UOP would lie to the government, what makes you think they would not lie to employees? For those of you who believe the layoffs of so called "poor performers" was because of the enrollment counselor's inability to enroll - NOT CONSIDERING PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY AS A WHOLE IS DOWN BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUGHT WITH THEIR PANTS DOWN BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE MEDIA AND THEIR HAND WAS SLAPPED - ignorance is bliss and enjoy the vacation common sense is taking from your mind.
