I found this comment from July left by one of their instructors about the closing of the schools:
"...they do change names and being a former employee, they make you sign papers up ying-yang [ to protect them] . the stuff i seen other teachers pass on was a disservice and absolute thievery. kids are lied too and as a teacher, i had to fail 2 people, i then left. i failed them b/c they deserved it due to lack of adequate knowledge and another for forgery...after i left, teachers were not allowed to fail students b/c it affected ratings and funding. never mind the state paying 2x as much at these colleges and falsifying placement, bc nobody wants em!! i could say more. people are being robbed there. i have 22 years in my field. i was trained at Bates. i warn people not to waist there money there at Everest formerly Eton college. to top it off there not accredited..."

I think this illustrates why students would feel ripped off. And the American taxpayer too.
