    Honestly, good. "Colleges" like this are just scams to try and sell people fake tickets into the upper classes. They drive people into debt on false promises. And also, just to clarify the article, the ACICS (the Education Corporation of America's accredititing agency, which was itself unrecognized recently and then re-recognized by the department of education. They also suspended the ECA's accreditation with intent to withdraw, which means this is almost certainly a final nail in the coffin for the company. They don't have much of a hope of reclaiming their accreditation.

    Education Corporation of America runs several college chains. The students of the shuttered locations were given no warning and appear to be left without any assistance in trying to transfer credits to other institutions. I'm surprised that DeVos wasn't able to save ECA.
