Immoral behavior/Incompetant Leadership/Predator Practices
As a former BMC employee at the Quad-Cities (Bettendorf, IA) campus, I can tell you that all of you who are dissatisfied with EDMC and who feel that Goldman Sachs, the parent company of EDMC, needs to be held accountable, you need to write to Sen. Tom Harkin, (D-IA), who chairs a subcommittee looking into "for-profit" colleges. BMC is one of the worst offenders in the country. I have taught at other "for-profits" (DeVry, Keiser University, South University) and found them to be far more honest, open, and serious about maintaining significant academic standards. Their graduates were able to go on to other schools without any problems, and to do so at the graduate level. I have taught in English, Criminal Justice, and Paralegal programs, and given the fact that I have close to 30 years of teaching experience and both a PhD in English and a JD, both from top 25 universities, I was always treated like a professional EXCEPT at Brown Mackie. BMC's motto should be: Profit Before People. And the complaints about the academic deans and department chairs is totally correct. My academic dean had an MSW (as if that were anything close to an academic degree) and then acquired a faux PhD from EDMC's online university. What a joke he was.
My department chair (General Education) at BMC had a Master's in Counselling and had actually taught for less than 1 year; yet she presumed to tell me what was wrong with my teaching and to evaluate me based on a 30 minute in-class visit. She was totally unprofessional, as was the "academic dean" (I use the term advisedly). I am now teaching at a large community college surrounded by colleagues who have real degrees from real schools and who are seriously concerned with educating students. So if you want to get some clout behind your class-action lawsuit, I would happy to sign-on and I would also recommend you contact Senator Harkin's office in Washington, DC.
