You are right, except there are public high schools that offer trades. And I think community colleges are about to be free?

Agreed. Telling everyone their dilemma would just rush the process. They used that evaluation period to wipe up as much as they could. Poor students, went there for a high price and won't even get that worthless certificate of completion. Or the non-existent job placement assistance. Boy, have times changed.

Can you elaborate on this: "workers too; their directors and officers are likely legally obligated to do so, lest the investors be the ones defrauded". It isn't clear about the obligated party.

For profit colleges. Of course they aren't going to tell the students they're about a tank. They will take every last check, and then stiff their workers too; their directors and officers are likely legally obligated to do so, lest the investors be the ones defrauded. Betsy DeVos probably owns the equity fund that probably owns this school. Fuck a refund, we need to start eating these people. Richest country ever to exist, college or trade school should be free for anyone that wants to attend and gets accepted to a program.

Happened to me. Then I got it couple days after I saw the “issue” message.

Looks alot like the Mohegan sun one

Not terrible from east haven to MD.... Hopefully they make more than that one delivery lol!

In this inflation I'd ask for the longest possible lease so you don't end up getting the rent raised every year. Just read the contract carefully for what the penalty is if you break it early. If it's the standard loss of security deposit okay.

I think I'm more surprised to see they brought down the Foxon Park sodas.

I'm not giving any advice either way, but I have signed a 2 year lease in the past although not in CT. I had just moved to NYC and was relieved to find an apt without having a guarantor (something commonly requested in the city) but the landlord wanted 2 years. We agreed, and it ended up being fine. It does make it more complicated if you need to move but it also helps protect you from a rent increase for that extra year. (We did end up having to break a lease later during Covid when we left the city but were as helpful as we could be with getting new tenants. Of course that was an unusual situation so your mileage may vary.)

Positive of 2 year lease is landlord can't raise rent after first year

So when are you disarming the cops?

You know the Nazis took all the guns away right? Right..??

You hone in on one of the few countries with significant gun violence like ours, as if the existence of other violent countries proves America can't achieve something. To do this, you look past most of a planet where the problem is much less severe. Did you realize you were doing that?

Do you think there are not gangs and cartels and lunatics in these places?

Not very bright, is she.

I suggest just scheduling a call back at: https://portal.ct.gov/dol/unemployment-benefits?language=en_US.

You may have to wait a few days for your call back but it beats waiting on hold for hours. Every time I've tried calling I can't even get through but callbacks guarantee you talking to someone on the status of your payments. Mines have been under investigation for 2.5 weeks (I was fired) the girl I talked to said investigations take up to 4 weeks it's probably the same for other situations. The system is broken for sure but with patience you'll get what you need eventually.

Crazy. I live near College Park now and complain about the sorry state of pizza in the DMV. This is good information!

Stone Academy just ruined a few lives. If they knew they were about to tank, which they would know from the agency noticing them, they just got whatever they could get before the agency acted. Then they jumped ship. Of course, we were not there to really judge what was happening but it sounds like they could have come clean to the students before a fresh round of semester loans came up.

THE 91?? You sound like a Gilmore Girl! 🤣

With regulatory compliance* there's usually a notice and an opportunity to cure. Only after refusing or failing to cure does the agency move to enforcement, and that's usually only fines.

That's true now but I know from experience that it was not that way in the 90's. The business schools used to do a great job but the easy availability of government loans brought out shady business people and by the time I moved on in 2000, it had started to get unethical. It became a real loan racket and I left without looking back.

That's a rolling roadblock.

This would have been less painful if they let the students know the school was on shaky ground for a long time. I question allowing classes to go on at all once the OHE became aware of what was going on.

The system is horrible. At one point someone gained access to my account and was changing the bank account to theirs. I followed the steps to alert it as unauthorized changes to my account and it took them a full week to even respond to the report I made, let alone take any action.

It’s at the Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda, MD.

Which town in MD?

Not all for-profits were bad in their day. I worked at a small for-profit in the 90's. It was run by two doctors and supplied the area with solidly trained medical assistants. The training was better than high school and less than college. It filled a niche: not every young person is meant for college but they needed training to be employable. The school was ethical and cared about its contribution to the workforce. But it had to close as the cost became too great for the owners to pass along to students.

I don't think there is much awareness of how helpful these training schools were for lower-middle class students. It helped them with upward mobility, without the fast food stage. We don't have these schools now that can be trusted like that school was. It's really a loss.

Any chance her name is Brenda? I talked to at least 10 different reps, but this one woman named Brenda stood out because she was so nice and kind to me. Actually, most of them were nice and kind, there was only one guy who was a jerk - Jeremy. Fuck Jeremy.
