My former college shut down! Yay!

It's a combination of people being stupid and the school being predatory. Overcharging students for loans they have to pay back is predatory. The owners claimed to not have known this was happening, but the three employees who were doing this fully knew what they were doing. Students weren't only overcharged for government loans; people with private loans were also overcharged. Regardless, this is money students have to pay back.

A lot of the students weren't very well-educated and knew no one who had attended college. A lot of them didn't even have access to the Internet before they attended the school unless they decided to go to a library. A lot of them could barely operate a computer. I'm 100% sure that several of my students had learning disabilities. There was also a disabled vet in a wheelchair who was told that he could become a criminal investigator.

Before I left, I told all my students where they could transfer. Even from the beginning, I had to explain to them the limitations of national accreditation, and I know informed them that CCs were much cheaper. A couple of them attended a CC, but couldn't pass English Comp or College Algebra. I'm fine with vocational programs for those who can't pass gen Ed courses, but CJ is not a vocational program. It's practically a social science. You're not going to pass the written tests for police departments and Child Protective Services if you can't read, write, or do basic math.
