What difference, at this point, does it make?

Gee! Now we need to bring in some foreign workers to do jobs Americans don’t know how to do.

Ignore all regulations. They are not constitutional.

I thought Trump University was the bad guy.

The Mudslime-In-Chief killed 8,000 jobs.

On the bright side, I'll bet a majority of the 8,000 employees and 40,000 students will be voting TRUMP!

Seems the citizens should hold our tax-payer funded government to a much higher and more penalized standard.

Don’t count on it. The Dems will tell the students that Trump and the republicans are responsible.

ITT Tech must not brainwash its students with politically correct liberal horse-$hit. It they pushed white privilege and other stupid liberal nonsense they would still be in business.

Not much politics to Fuel Injector “Studies”

Indications are that this is the extraordinarily rare instance where the Obama Administration may have done something right. The organization seems to have primarily excelled at creating lots of student loan debt, and failed miserably at providing useful education.

Anybody in the San Diego area can check with KUSI TV, they did a story on the local ITT schools, and I learned that another local school is honoring the classes, and will help the students get the courses they need and they can still graduate .. and the school will also help them seek a job.

Let anybody you know who got caught in Obama’s tantrum realize that there is some help out there.

A few months ago Obama did this to Heald College as well, right before graduation and many students here got screwed out of their tuition and diplomas. And the reason Heald got shut down had nothing to do with financial soundness, etc. The Department of Education made the decision it was not engaging in enough outreach to potential employers, and thus somehow was evil and had to be shut down.

ITT has the option to stay open, as all they would need to do is exted Student Loans to they own students and liberate their students from being in debt to the federal government.

It seems odd that ITT would not simply loan money to their students.

Perhaps, but competition in this sector would put them out of business if they failed to deliver. Maybe they were trying to cash in on the travesty of public school debt. Who knows how much a degree in women's studies will set a student back at Harvard.

I’m no big fan of these vastly overpriced tech schools, but at least they do teach people marketable skills,... produce people who can actually do something useful.... unlike the well accredited colleges and universities with their “Liberal Arts” degrees.

Damn Feds once again stick their noses into things that is the province of the individual states.

Obama, Hillary and the Democrat Party do not want the poor to be employed, so they shut down these centers that can teach them a skill. Of course, there is a high failure rate because the students have come from our very poor government schools and can’t read or write, or they are illegal aliens who are virtually illiterate.
But Obama thinks ITT should have the same failure rate as Haaaavahd. Too bad for those who were trying to better their lot in life. The Democrats won’t allow it.
