Art Institute's E-Book Fees and EDMC Evils

The Story from Cartoon Brew

I'm a graduate from AIFL. I loved the students and teachers, however EDMC is a shady bunch of money-hungry, greedy, shmucks. That's what happens when you're in cahoots with Goldman Sachs (41% owned).

They threatened recruiters if they didn't pull in X amount of students. I heard things from working there for minimum wage (no hope of a raise) so I could afford basic necessities while attending.

“If you choose to purchase a printed copy of a textbook that is available through Digital Bookshelf, you will be responsible for both the Digital Resource Fee and the cost of the textbook.”

Sense. It makes none. Who should pay 50$ to RENT a BOOK?

The for-profit college bubble is going to explode soon, and they know it. I say good, however, EDMC big-wigs need to take the cuts, not the teachers and staff, but we all know that they and students are going to suffer because of those greedy bastards.

What's wrong with America? Greed.
