Gilderoy,
Yes. I was at that meeting in January, where the CEO brushed aside the CARC rules as "stupid" when told the licencing aspect. The whole point of the meeting seemed to be to try to shoe horn more paying customers (students) through the door, without increasing staffing numbers (I seem to remember that Instructor/student ratios and instructor contact hours were dismissed as "ridiculous" too)..
It was obvious at the time and caused open dissent.
It didnt matter that several guys informed him of the rules. However it was highly irregular that he chose to have that meeting (egged on by a lapdog or two), while the CGI was away on company business, whereas if he had waited a mere 24 hours, he would have received the facts and direct references to the rules first hand. However, the shoot the messanger mentality was running rife.
Chickens, roost..home (rearrange as required). It would be funny if it wasnt tragic and affects peoples lives and careers. Ill never understand what drives the guy. Surely he wants the place to succeed? perhaps he's just a bit Upton Park. ( 2 Stops short of Barking
