ITT graduates had a much higher employment rate than most colleges.


Not true at all.

I taught at ITT for two years. (It was a paycheck.)

The counselors lied to students about the cost, quality, and job opportunities.

Many students didn’t go to state or community schools for a reason....they couldn’t handle the work.

I wasn’t allowed to fail anyone since ITT needed the students to stay in to keep the loan money coming in.

Many students dropped out and were left with horrendous loans and no education.

The credits wouldn’t transfer to state schools.

ITT was run for the stockholders, not the students. There’s nothing wrong with that but you need to give value for the money.

Frankly, it needed to close shop.

I agree. I worked in the student loan industry over twenty years ago, and ITT Tech had a bad rep for completion and hiring even then.

I worked with quite a few and I felt bad that they were getting ripped off.

I’m a little tech college product that took a short run of computer repair classes.
