I think this is an interesting topic, but please everyone, this is not a
pick on the ³for profit² program listserv. This is for thoughtful discourse.
Note, since this a lawsuit, I know students and school representatives can
not even discuss this in an open forum.

I hope that we all respect each other enough to realize that all programs
have some great and some bad instructors. Pointing a finger also means that
you have three fingers pointing back at yourself.

The type of thing that would make sense to me is if we can find a way to
help these students. Maybe they should all take Ian¹s Free Summer Game
Design class? What other ideas might we be able to give them?

Susan
