Thread regarding Corinthian Colleges Inc. layoffs

being an ethics instructor at Everest is like being the coach of the downhill ski team in Cuba.

Irony...being an ethics instructor at Everest. Although, I haven't instructed that course in a long time...I wonder why.

Intentional or not, the actions and results speak volumes. Whether by design or default, the company created and/or allowed allowed what can most favorably be described as highly questionable, unethical practices. Executive management is acccountable for that. They may not have planned to be greedy and corrupt, but that is what they became. Perhaps an exercize in semantics, but I am unwilling to give our leadership a pass. 866: as an unbiased business person, here is what I see: shrinking enrollment, mounting legal issues, multiple regulatory and AG investigations and badly damaged brand equity. The analogy is that Warren Buffet buys fixer-uppers with forseeable value. He does not buy burned-out shells on the verge of collapse.

868 is right. Leadership is not intentionally "evil" for the most part. Unethical behavior became acceptable over a period of time, and so did a lack of respect for those "outliers" who objected. Rather than consider dissenting opinions about unethical decisions, leadership leaned in the direction of fraudulently derived profit. And dispensed with many who understood the truth of what was happening for fear they would interrupt the flow of $$$. This was a preventable train wreck.

There was not some master evil plan concocted by Jack and the ELT that got CCi to this point. It was decisions, large and small, made everyday by literally thousands of employees. These decisions were and still are anchored to CCi's culture of fraud, deceit, and predation. This won't change with a change of owners / managers.

My point is to not look at it like a disgruntled employee, Look at it like an unbiased business person.

When the stock market crashes, most people look at it like a catastrophe while Warren Buffett buys stocks because the are on sale - we are on sale.

That's cute, but do you really think a school that has done all the crappy things that CCI has deserves to just move on as though it never happened? We've broken laws. We've committed fraud and lied to students and the government. We're damned lucky the DOE didn't shut up down this summer. People should be in jail.

Please spend a little less time chasing unicorns on rainbows and drink from the well of reality.

Lol.
