Case Summary:
I need as many people to join me as possible so we can put a stop to this so it does not happen to anybody else. For profit schools should be done away with.

Case Detail:
I went to ITT so I could get a degree in Drafting and Design. I had concerns about some of the classes that I was taking, classes that had nothing to do with my degree. I was told by my Dean, Department Chair, and many of the other staff members that these classes was nothing more then to give student the amount of hours needed for the school to keep it's credits. One of the classes you would not get your book until the fourth week of class when you needed the book at the start of class, they would lie to the student by saying the book was not in yet and the whole time the book store would be flooded with the books. I know this to be a fact because I worked in the book store. By being a student worker there I was able to see a lot of things that go on behind closed doors like an instructor leaving the property with a student in their car to spend personal time wit them. When she went to pull out she hit another students car and pulled away with out stopping, this was nothing short of hit and run. When she returned she parked on the other end of the parking lot where the D.O.R. caught her with the student still in her car. Nothing was ever done about this, reports was made but still nothing. This instructor should have be fired for committing a crime on school property and spending personal time with a student off of school property. They wanted to keep it quit so the school as a whole would not get in trouble. The funny part of it all is that in every class room they have signs hanging in them saying how you (the student) would be kicked out if you lie or use other peoples work as your work. ITT lies to no end to keep the money coming in no matter what the subject is. If you get in the way of profit they will get rid of you student or instructor. If enough students missed a class they would let that instructor go, with that in mind instructors would give students extra credit just for showing up to class. When I was in math one I was given enough credits for showing up that I was able to pass. I did not deserve to pass because I did not learn anything, and it was like this in a lot of my classes. When you are at ITT they pump you all up letting you think you are becoming a master in your field just to go out in the real world to be laughed out of the work place. I feel like I went in debt for nothing, I have been out of school for a year now and still no work. The only job ITT helped me get I was sent out with a boot in my ass and telling me I did not know anything. Back before I started school I had no job and was unable to feed my girls. After two days of my girls going hungry I just could live with my self any more and was going to end my life, being a loving father and feeling like a failure I just couldn't handle it any longer. When I put the gun in my mouth and was ready to end it all ITT called. While I was on the phone to them I had told them everything that was going on and they told me to come to school and it would all change. Well I went and here I sit three years later and things are ten times as bad as they was, still unable to eat, pay my bills, when I apply for a job and they find out that I went to ITT they no longer talk to me, and I no longer have a family. I feel like ITT took advantage of me when I was an easy target just so they could get all the money they can. Can some body please help me I am at the end of my rope with no hope in sight.

Case Details:
I gratuated in April 2012 with honors to find out while doing my internship at a hospital that I could not get a certification for my degree because the school did not have professors teaching my program that were certified themselves and the school was not accredited to teach my degree program. I got a job for what I went to school for to find out all I needed was a high school diploma.I had to take a certification for employment through the company even though I have a degree. The school changd the name of my Degree now so I know they are trying to cover theirselves. I also was forced to take 110 credits to graduate and recieve this degree that will not benefit me in no way. I am in $20000 debt and I am mad. This school convinced me I could get an entry level position with this degree and I can not. They also took two years of full time of me going to school and being away from my family just to put me in debt. I want to do something because this is beyond unfair and cruel. I live on welfare and have a disabled husband and went to school to better my life and all they did was put me in further debt. Please help!

Case Details:
I am currently working on my second degree with ITT. BIG MISTAKE! I am not really sure what i was thinking During the course of my first program I lost my home due to ITT withholding funds from me. After mush reassurance and a few people being fired (relocated?) I signed up for classes. Here for me is where things get a little fishy. Since I decided to go with a double associates I was informed I would have to take some classes I had already taken. While this was most likely an attempt on their part to get as much money as possible I was OK with it because it would allow me to maintain my focus on school as being a full time student entitled me to substance allowance from the VA. Now in my third quarter ITT is refusing to enroll me in classes I have taken previously (even though the past 2 quarters of classes 2 of my 3 classes have been classes i have taken previously) If it wasn’t for my amazing family I would be on the streets because of ITT and now they are trying take away my substance allowance from the VA by shorting my classes with a only a 2 weeks notice before classes start.
