Call for the closure of large "For Profit" schools in the nation. Demand restitution for alumni saddled with reprehensible amounts of debt.
Why is this important?
I attended ITT Technical Institute and now owe over $96 thousand dollars for an Associates level education that has no extrinsic value. The school specializes in little more than high pressure sales, misleading information, "college credits" and "degrees" that are not transferable and coercion. They hurt the economy by knowingly offering a substandard product that effectively places most alumni in precarious and often dire financial situations. As a “for profit” school they should be held to the same standards as other businesses and “customers” should have the right to request a refund for reasons of: “Disputes Quality of Goods or Services”, “Defective/Not as Described” or “Services Not Rendered”. They should made accountable for poor business practices and taking advantage of students.
