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!

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.
