I'd send a nasty note to the director of the dispute office. I'm sure he's a busy guy, he also thinks that I'm the only one to ever have a problem with this crappy company. Send a letter to [email protected] Make sure you tell him how you got taken advantage of. I hope to fill up this guy's e-mail with complaints, since I'm the only one that has ever had a problem with that place....

The following is an excerpt from the San Jose Mercury News regarding recruiting problems at the UOP.... "But other former recruiters not involved in the lawsuit support the suit's claims. Rebecca Mackover of Campbell, Rashida Mirza of San Jose and others say that as pressure mounted to boost profit, recruiters were paid for the number of students they enrolled and were encouraged to ignore transcripts and rush potential students into inappropriate classes. 'University of Phoenix created a sweatshop atmosphere that was only focused on new business,' said Mackover, who worked with Hendow and Albertson. Said Mirza: 'It was all about getting the students in now, even if they couldn't afford it or it wasn't in their best interest.' Students and former students interviewed by the Mercury News echo the recruiters' accounts, saying they felt pressure to enroll. Some say they were urged to take classes they didn't need; others say they were encouraged to seek federal financial aid, even when their work schedule made completion unlikely. Recruiters made false promises to convince them to enroll, downplaying the consequences, they say."
