Forget this site causing false hopes. CCI is good at stringing us along all on its own. Does anyone else feel like they are being strung along by CCI just to get more Title IV funds or until they fill Bk.

I don't think anyone who still is at CCI is concerned about the business model. Only jigs and muds left.
785: There's one BIG piece of evidence that supports what you're saying -- HR is staying the same. "No significant changes" in HR means no improvement in ethical standards. Business as usual...
Well, let's look at the business model, OP. Yes, CCI was all about "asses in classes" and putting unrealistic pressure on academics to push people through and keep them attending to keep getting the Title IV dollars. I believe that the ECMC deal is "legit" in that ECMC is buying the campuses and intends to continue them as career schools. They are also buying the business model, though. ECMC is known for unethical and aggressive business tactics and has a natural affinity for how CCI does business. The Dept of Ed is under pressure to prevent CCI from going kaput since it will then be forced to forgive hundreds of millions in loans. The deal will keep ED off Zenith's back for awhile, at least for a couple of years as a "honeymoon phase" to let them get up to speed. By then, they will be up to speed alright - on the CCI way and all the tricks that go with it. They are hoping that the heat will have died off and they can fly under the radar. Will Zenith be worse than CCI? Doubtful. Better? maybe a little, but don't hope for much. I don't expect any meaningful changes in management or practices after the transition. If you're not happy in your job now - whether it's because of abusive management, concern over the ethics of what we do, etc, then you should still plan on getting out. This is a shuffling of names and ownership. Nothing more.
Well what in the heck are you waiting for? You have a job. You get paid. How are you getting strung along? Friggin leave and take your stupid string with you cry ass baby!
