Hate to say this, but Trump is a more successful businessman.


Trump is just a better scammer.

It is absolutely their parents’ fault. There were so many red flags and they had the same admissions season as everyone else to find something stable.

Other schools are full with waiting lists. Not fair to the parents paying $40k tuition to take on more kids than the staff and building can handle

I predict UDC, GW, or Hopkins will purchase it outright.


Out of these schools, JHU would be the most likely choice only if it were to happen. Johns Hopkins purchased the old Newseum building for its SAIS. It is a misfortune that Newseum had to close due to financial mismanagement. It was a fine museum with an important mission.

What both have in common is that they enjoy having things named after them. It would be priceless if the Whittle School campus in China changed its name to disassociate itself from a failed businessman. The Shenzhen campus was no longer affiliated with the DC campus as of September 2021.

Why so mean? You have no idea what some of these people had as alternative options.

Personally, I wouldn't touch Whittle with a 10 foot pole and would tell that to anyone who asked my opinion on that school as an option. But I also do not judge the decisions of others.

Have some compassion.


np: Because, at some point, the customers are party to the scam. They want something that is too good to be true, and their playing along hurts others.

In this case, people still wanted to go to a school that has stiffed a line of suppliers a mile long? They want their kids to have this attentive, personalized education at the expense of all these others who were shafted?

I get wanting the best for your kids; I get that some people may not have had the business experience to see the early warning signs; and Whittle is the true culprit here. But, yeah, anyone (is there really anyone?!) who was hoping to send their child this upcoming Fall had their head in the sand, at best.


But, let's be honest....this not your problem and there's no need to be mean.

I bet you could find something more positive to do with your energy.


Telling other people what to do on a message board, especially anonymous strangers, is quite pretentious and pointless. Why do people bother? Should I tell you not to bother to respond to me now? Would that work?

Absurd.


I don't see anyone telling anyone else what to do.


“Have some compassion”?

Please not UDC. The “university” is Not managed well either and depresses the economic vitality of the area.

WaPo is still repeating Whittle’s lie that the pandemic was their downfall. So much for reporting.


Did Whittle take PPP money. I’d bet they were first in line.
