“In what’s believed to be the biggest shutdown in the history of higher education in the United States, Corinthian Colleges said Sunday it’s closing its remaining 28 for-profit schools effective immediately, kicking about 16,000 students out of school. Corinthian, based in Santa Ana, California, said in a statement and an email to students that it would lean on government agencies and other institutions to place the students, who were enrolled at Heald College locations in California, Hawaii and Oregon and at Everest and WyoTech locations in California, Arizona and New York. “It was very shocking to be told ‘hey, tomorrow, no more school,'” Alexandra Roske, a student at Corinthian’s Heald College in Salida, California, told NBC station KCRA of Sacramento on Sunday.”(more)
