COUNTRY.. INCLUDING
INDIANA.
IT'S LOST ITS
ACCREDITATION -- AND
CAN NO LONGER
ENROLL STUDENTS
RECEIVING FEDERAL AID.
THE SCHOOL HAS 6
INDIANA LOCATIONS --
THAT ARE PART OF INVESTIGATIONS
FOCUSED ON FINANCES,
MANAGEMENT AND RECRUITMENT.
EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER MARY MILZ
FOUND EVEN FORMER
STUDENTS ARE
WAITING FOR THE NEXT
SHOE TO DROP.

AS LIVE 2132 WE TRIED
BUT BUT HAVEN'T BEEN
ABLE TO TALK TO
ANYONE WITH ITT - NOT
HERE, AT THE OTHER
CAMPUS OR AT ITS
CARMEL-BASED
HEADQUARTERS, BUT
WE DID TALK TO ONE
FORMER STUDENT AND
EMPLOYEE, WHO HAD
PLENTY TO SAY.
SOT 2:21 I'M NOT SURPRISED IT'S PROBABLY BEEN A
LONG TIME
COMING...WHEN I WENT
HERE THE TEACHERS
TRIED THEIR BEST BUT
FRANKLY WERE
HANDCUFFED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION.
MATT DIDN'T WANT TO
GO ON CAMERA.... BUT
DID AGREE TO TALK TO
US OUTSIDE THE PIKE
TOWNSHIP CAMPUS, WHERE HE EARNED A
DEGREE IN 2005... ONE
HE'S NOT EXACTLY
PROUD OF...
SOT 3:54 THEIR
ADMISSION PROCESS
WAS A JOKE. THEY HAD AN ADMISSIONS
TEST WHERE IF YOU
DIDN'T PASS IT, YOU
COULD TAKE THE SAME
TEST OVER AND OVER
AGAIN AND ONLY WAIT
15 MINUTES TO RETAKE
THE TEST...THEY JUST
WANTED TO GET
PEOPLE IN AND CHARGE
MONEY.
MATT SAYS HIS TWO
YEARS HERE COST HIM
$40-GRAND....
SOT 3:14 I KNOW
STUDENTS WHO SPENT FOUR YEARS HERE AND
SPENT $80-THOUSAND AFTER GRADUATING,
MATT SAYS HE WORKED AT ITT
HEADQUARTERS...
SOT 8:49 YOU COULD
TELL THAT THE
ATMOSPHERE THE CEO
SET, FILTERED DOWN TO THE SCHOOL... IT
WAS ALL ABOUT
MONEY...
SOT 907 BACK IN THE
80S THIS WAS
PROBABLY A GREAT
INSTITUTION... BUT IT
JUST GOT MICRO-
MANAGED AND NICKEL
AND DIMED TO DEATH...
YEARS LATER, MATT IS
STILL CONNECTED TO
ITT - STILL PAYING OFF
$20-THOUSAND IN
STUDENT LOANS...FOR
A DEGREE HE FEARS IS
WORTHLESS. BUT AT
LEAST NOW HE HAS
HOPE.
SOT 3:36 BECAUSE OF
ALL THIS GOING ON, I
FOUND OUT MIGHT BE
ABLE TO GET THE
FEDERAL LOANS
FORGIVEN...SO
CURRENTLY I'M
WORKING ON THAT
PART TO SEE IF I CAN
GET OUT OF DEBT. AS LIVE TAG 23:46
OBVIOUSLY THERE'S A
LOT OF FRUSTRATION,
QUESTIONS AND
CONCERN AMONG
CURRENT AND FORMER
ITT STUDENTS..
WONDERING WHAT'S
NEXT, WHAT IT MEANS
FOR THEM. WE'VE PUT TOGETHER SOME
INFORMATION THAT
MIGHT PROVE HELPFUL... ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS GO TO
WTHR.COM...ANDREA
THE UNIVERSITY OF
NOTRE DAME JUST GOT
