Jeanne, I am curious to know what campus you attended (but from what you described it could be any of them). It is completely deceptive/dishonest/immoral the way the "christian" owners Tom & Morrie mislead students and staff. They knew very well what was happening/coming for BCTI. At the campus where I worked, in late 2004 the co-owner Tom Jonez came to my campus and we had a mandatory all staff meeting. In this meeting, he told all of us (including the ED) that 1. The investigation into BCTI by the state was finished, and was found to be baseless (we all know now that was a lie), 2. Our campus was definately not going to be closing (a lie), 3. the investigation by the accredidation company was complete and again all complaints were without merit (a lie), and 4. how lucky we all were to be a part of the BCTI family and that anyone that does not have complete faith in BCTI should not be there (a good idea). Almost everything Tom said in that meeting turned out to be untrue. (What I would give to be able to turn back the clock and walk back into that meeting again). The two owners and the VPs knew everything, the other 99% of the staff were lied to. My point being that when your Dean went around telling students not to worry the rumors were false, that is what he had been told. If you, or anyone else, wants to share their 'thoughts' with the two owners Morrie & Tom, you can find them in their family of churches in the Gig Harbor area.
