I mean... how can you be shocked?
You mean they actually required academic instruction?

tudents and staff at the for-profit Virginia College near the Cortana Mall were shocked with news from school chiefs Wednesday that the college was closing. And, it’s not just the Baton Rouge campus. In an email obtained by WBRZ, officials warned employees the entire Virginia College system was closing.

“...the Department of Education added requirements that made operating our schools more challenging. In addition, last night ACICS suspended our schools’ accreditation with intent to withdraw. The uncertainty of these requirements resulted in an inability to acquire additional capital to operate our schools,” Stu Reed, the CEO of Virginia College’s parent company
You mean they actually required academic instruction?

“It is with extreme regret that this series of recent circumstances has forced us to discontinue the operations of our schools effective with the completion of the current module or term for most students. There will also be a small group of employees to provide an orderly closure process for a short period thereafter,” Reed wrote. Employees were told to check with supervisors about when their “last day of employment” would be. All employees were told they would receive wages for time worked along with accrued but unused vacation.

Time to bulldoze Cortana, clear the land and give it to BREC to construct a new high school football facility (and close Memorial) that can also be used for soccer, new basketball gym, baseball/softball fields and indoor tennis center. Would be awesome.

They stopped admitting new students a while ago, which should have been a significant sign that this could happen.
They lost their accreditation. I guess as soon as that happened, their lending capacity was cut off.
Can they "transfer" their hours to another for-profit school????

Such a shame. A once proud institution. Started by Thomas Jefferson believe it or not. Just shows you what poor leadership will get you.

That’s University of Virginia, not Virginia College.

Good. For-profit colleges are terrible and should all be replaced with trade schools.

That's the University of Virginia, one of the best public universities in this nation. This is some shite school based out of Alabama.
