Since 1990, several hundred-thousand complaints against ITT have been registered with the Federal Office of Accreditation and Finance, with reasons ranging from "impossible schedules", questionable dealings to qualify for government aid and the hiring of unqualified "burnouts" from various industries to perform as teachers.

In October 2005, ITT agreed to pay $725,000 to settle a lawsuit with California in which employees alleged that it inflated students’ grade point averages so they qualified for more financial aid from the State of California. ITT admitted that “erroneous student grade point average calculations” resulted in 49 students receiving more money from the state Cal Grant program than they were entitled to.

In November 1999, two admissions/recruitment employees at an ITT Technical Institute in California, filed a law suit alleging that ITT Educational Services Inc. used an "incentive salary structure" that flouted the federal ban on providing bonuses, commissions or other payments to recruiters tied to their success enrolling students.

A lawsuit was filed on June 8, 1995 in San Diego, California by seven graduates of the San Diego ITT Technical Institute. The plaintiffs claimed that the defendants (1) made misrepresentations and engaged in deceptive acts in the recruitment of the plaintiffs for, and/or in the promotion of, the program, (2) provided inadequate instruction to the plaintiffs, (3) used inadequate facilities and equipment in the program and inappropriate forms of contracts with the plaintiffs, (4) failed to provide the plaintiffs with all required information and disclosures and (5) misrepresented the plaintiffs' prospects for employment upon graduation, the employment of the program's graduates and the plaintiffs' ability to transfer program credits. In October 1996, the jury in this action rendered a verdict against ITT Educational Services Inc and awarded the plaintiffs general damages of approximately $200,000 and exemplary damages of $6.6 million.

ITT Technical Institute (often shortened to ITT Tech) is a private, for-profit, technical institute with more than 95 campuses in more than 34 states of the United States. It was founded in 1946 as Educational Services, Inc. and has been headquartered in Carmel, Indiana, since 1969. ITT Tech is owned and operated by ITT Educational Services Inc. (NYSEESI), a publicly traded company.

Accreditation

ITT Tech is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools. It does not have regional accreditation; thus, most regionally accredited or traditional universities and colleges do not accept ITT Tech's credits for transfer and do not recognize its undergraduate degrees for entry into graduate programs.[1][2][3][4]

Courses of study

ITT Tech offers programs specialized in information technology, electronics, drafting and design, criminal justice, health sciences, and business administration.

Students of ITT Tech may pursue Associates, Bachelors (all but health), or Masters (business-only) degrees. Graduates might be specialized in architectural design, visual communications, programming, engineering and information technology.

ITT, the business

From 1965 until its IPO in 1994, ITT Tech was a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Corporation (as "ITT/ESI"). By 1999, ITT Corp. (which had merged with Starwood the year before) divested itself completely of ITT Tech's shares but the schools still use the "ITT" name under license.[5]

Controversy

On February 25, 2004, federal agents, pursuant to subpoenas issued by a Houston U.S. District Court raided the company's headquarters and 10 of its campuses seeking data on student placement, retention, attendance and grades, recruitment and admissions, graduate salaries, and transfers of credits to other schools. No charges were filed, and "no conclusions should be drawn from today's activity".[6] The investigation negatively affected the company's stock and triggered several class action lawsuits by investors.[7] The lawsuits alleged that ITT misrepresented its financial health and failed to disclose numerous deficiencies in order to artificially inflate its reported operational and financial performance."[8] In the largest of the investor law suits, former employees complained that ITT set unrealistic goals for enrollment, retention, and placement and exerted enormous pressure to enroll students. The complaint quotes a former admissions representative, characterizing the job as similar to selling “used cars.”[9] Overall, the former employees bringing the suit describe a culture where enrollment figures were manipulated, many “enrollees” never attended school, attendance and grades were inflated, and placement rates were misrepresented.[10]

In October 2005, ITT agreed to pay $725,000 to settle a lawsuit with California in which employees alleged that it inflated students’ grade point averages so they qualified for more financial aid from the State of California. ITT admitted that “erroneous student grade point average calculations” resulted in 49 students receiving more money from the state Cal Grant program than they were entitled to. The settlement covered the state's portion of the 2002 federal claims lawsuit.[11]

The state of Indiana filed a false claim suit against ITT in April 2004. The case alleged that ITT knowingly used false records and statements (relating to, among other things, student recruitment, admission, enrollment, attendance, grading, graduate placement, and course materials) in an effort to obtain federal grants and financial-aid payments. Charges were dismissed. [12][10][13]

In November 1999, two admissions/recruitment employees at an ITT Technical Institute in California, filed a law suit alleging that ITT Educational Services Inc. used an "incentive salary structure" that flouted the federal ban on providing bonuses, commissions or other payments to recruiters tied to their success enrolling students. In 2003, a federal judge in Houston threw out the suit on technical grounds, without weighing evidence.[14]

A lawsuit was filed on June 8, 1995 in San Diego, California by seven graduates of the San Diego ITT Technical Institute. The plaintiffs claimed that the defendants (1) made misrepresentations and engaged in deceptive acts in the recruitment of the plaintiffs for, and/or in the promotion of, the program, (2) provided inadequate instruction to the plaintiffs, (3) used inadequate facilities and equipment in the program and inappropriate forms of contracts with the plaintiffs, (4) failed to provide the plaintiffs with all required information and disclosures and (5) misrepresented the plaintiffs' prospects for employment upon graduation, the employment of the program's graduates and the plaintiffs' ability to transfer program credits. In October 1996, the jury in this action rendered a verdict against ITT Educational Services Inc and awarded the plaintiffs general damages of approximately $200,000 and exemplary damages of $6.6 million. ($2.6 million and $4 million were assessed against ITT ESI and ITT Tech, respectively.) The judge also awarded the plaintiffs attorney's fees and costs, in the amount of approximately $900,000 plus interest. [15] [16][17]In November 1998, based on the joint application and stipulation filed by ITT and the plaintiffs, the appellate court reversed the judgment against ITT and remanded the case back to the trial court, which vacated and set aside the judgment and dismissed the case with prejudice in December 1998.[15]

In January 1997, six legal actions were filed against ITT Educational Services Inc in San Diego, California by a total of 21 former students of the San Diego ITT Technical Institute. The claims alleged related primarily to the Company's marketing and recruitment practices and included misrepresentation and violations of certain state statutes.[16][17]

In June 1997, a legal action was filed against ITT Educational Services Inc in Orlando, Florida by three former students of the Maitland ITT Technical Institute. In April 1998, the legal action in Florida was dismissed without prejudice by the plaintiffs.[16]

April 1998, a legal action was filed against ITT Educational Services Inc in San Diego, California by nine former students who attended the hospitality program at either the Maitland or San Diego ITT Technical institute. The claims alleged related primarily to the Company's marketing and recruitment practices and included misrepresentation and violations of certain state statutes.[16]

August 1998, 15 former students who attended the hospitality program at campuses in San Diego or Maitland threatened to commence legal proceedings against ITT. The claimants alleged, among other things, statutory violations, misrepresentation, fraud and concealment by ITT arising out of their recruitment to attend, and their education at, ITT campuses. In September 1998, ITT settled all of the claims of the 15 claimants. [17]
