Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter-garment of Repentance fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.

Dean Martin's probably rolling in his grave.

M.
Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

Some of these problems exist with administrators when you're not dealing with a corporate partner. The accepting "all late work" pressure is real, especially in dual-enrollment courses.

Looks like a for-profit outfit may have hijacked what could have been (and for some students perhaps still is) a worthwhile program. 


Ironic that a union appears to be bankrolling an educational program that engages in highly exploitative labor practices.  $650 per course hour for adjuncts?  That's insane!
If in this life only we had hope of Christ, we would be the most pathetic of them all.  But now is Christ raised from the dead, the first of those who slept.  First Christ, then afterward those who belong to Christ when he comes.

That is a through piece of investigative journalism. I image one can draw many lessons from it.

I note that the college serves Lordstown, OH, home of the financially ephemereal Lordstown Motors, where community members were required to spin fantasy tales about jobs, investments and sales. The laid-off employees who were offered false home from that scheme are also the ones who would participate in the program at the CC in question.

Perhaps there are even more rabbit holes for the intrepid investigative reporter to explore.
