Not to worry, they'll just bring in more H-B1 workers from abroad to take these poor students places.

ITT Technical Institute to Close After Government Cut Off New Funding

ITT Technical Institute is shuttering immediately, ceasing operations at more than 130 campuses nationwide and eliminating most of its 8,000-plus employees, the latest for-profit school to close its doors amid a government crackdown on the sector.

The schools, operated by ITT Educational Services Inc., had about 40,000 students across 38 states, and its shutdown could have wide-ranging implications for taxpayers now on the hook for loans those students took out to pay for school.

U.S. Department of Education Undersecretary Ted Mitchell said Tuesday that current and recent students could ultimately seek to have $500 million in federal loans discharged. At least $90 million of that could be covered by funds already set aside by ITT.

The U.S. Department of Education last month banned the for-profit college operator from enrolling new students who receive federal aid, effectively issuing a death blow to the ITT chain. The company derives 80% of its cash revenue from Title IV federal aid, including Pell Grants and student loans.

ITT Chief Executive Kevin Modany said in a conference call with reporters Tuesday that the company had been in conversations with other colleges, as well as education nonprofits, to potentially take over its school operations. He said management had “multiple conversations, with multiple parties, over a period of probably at least 12 months,” but the Education Department rejected proposed alternatives.

Mr. Mitchell said he knew that ITT had been in talks with a variety of organizations, but none ever reached the stage of a formal proposal.
