ITT Technical Institutes will shut down all its college campusesfollowing a “recent move by the U.S. Education Department to ban the for-profit college operator from enrolling new students who use federal financial aid.†ITT brought in $850 million in revenue last year but has recently undergone “federal and state investigations of its recruiting and accounting practices,†not unlike many other for-profit colleges. The shutdown affects tens of thousands of students and 8,000 employees. The small silver lining: Current or recently enrolled students may be able to get their student loan debt forgiven.
Fox has given $20 million as well as an “unprecedented apology†to former Fox News host Gretchen Carlson after she filed a sexual harassment claim against now-ousted CEO Roger Ailes. Following Carlson’s statement, six more women came forward with similar claims. The outcome “provides a relatively swift closure to an ugly chapter in the company's history.â€

Take that, Zuckerberg: India’s richest man is giving 4G to 1 billion people for as little as $2.25 per month, a move that makes Facebook’s Zuckerberg’s similar (but failed) Free Basics plan look like small potatoes. Currently only one-fifth of India has access to Internet, but the new plan hopes to reach 90% of India by early 2017. It hasn’t come cheap, though: Mukesh Ambani has spent billions creating the infrastructure to make his dream possible.

8 å¹´Of course, the government is to blame not ITT's useless education and milking the student loan and putting students in huge debt. The sad part is most of the private education corporations like, University of Phoenix, Cappella, Western Governors University are pretty much student loan scammers. Look at the default rate of their students at the Department of Education web site.
