The Dead Don't Just Vote....

  • City Colleges of Chicago has its own version of “The Walking Dead.” Call it the Graduating Dead.

    The seven-campus school system is combing records for dropouts, including deceased ones, who may qualify for two-year diplomas, part of an all-out hunt to boost lagging graduation rates and polish a centerpiece of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's education agenda.

    In 2013, City Colleges adopted a “posthumous degree” program that made dead alums eligible for a degree or certificate, provided they had fulfilled three-fourths of the requirements. “This policy can be administered retroactively and applies also to students who have died prior to the effective date of this policy,” City Colleges documents say.
Is there money involved in this somehow? Do they get retro-active student loan payments from the feds? It can't just be about "prestige" to boost a dismal graduation rate, can it?

Maybe Rahm needs another line on the resume? The Education Mayor!

Rahm is walking through the pasture of Political Fuckery
and desperately trying to polish every turd he lays hands on.

Hmmm...
The Feds must've found something with his handprints all
over it. Pun totally intended...

(Hard to deny the nine-year-old girl sized handprint with half
a missing "shocker-finger" when you're the only m/fer in the room
so equipped...)

Here's to Rahm assuming a curious position when HE gets that
early am knock on his door...

"I SEE DEAD PEOPLE" What timing eh.

Chicago's Plan to Match Education With Jobs
AAR Corp., an aviation-parts manufacturer in the Chicago area, has 600 openings for welders and mechanics but can't find skilled workers to fill them.

By Rahm Emanuel
December 19, 2011

The Chicago area has near 10% unemployment, but more than 100,000 unfilled jobs. Like the rest of the country, Chicago suffers from a skills gap that undermines our economic competitiveness and threatens our future prosperity.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970203893404577100772663276902

Then one year later you graduate dead people to show how well the program is working. SUCCESS! /sarc

I Don't know which propaganda is worse. The so-called skills gap bull shit lie or the gun buy back gets illegal guns off the streets bullshit.

Oh, yeah.

City Colleges are right up there with cosmetology schools as the biggest scam of taxpayer dollars in the name of "education." Just gov't money pumps by any other name.

So by increasing the graduation rate, City Colleges can claim better stats and qualify for.......(wait for it) more gov't money.

Rahm Emanuel's interest in the City Colleges is driven by the fact that it was unit of government under his control that is still solvent and has cash for his cronies to loot. The entire board of trustees is appointed by the mayor.

The "chancellor" is a former bankruptcy petitioner with no background in higher education administration. Her sponsor was Frank Clark of Commonwealth Edison. She owns a luxurious residence in suburban Lansing (where she filed for homeowner exemptions), but claims to be a Chicagoan by virtue of renting an apartment from Elzie Higginbotham's East Lake Management company.

$200 million plus will be spent to build a new campus at Malcolm X College with another major construction project planned for Olive-Harvey College. Both colleges are notable for being underperforming institutions and in each case the existing campus buildings are less than fifty years old.

Follow the money and you will find more waste, fraud, corruption and patronage abuses. The City Colleges awarded a vendor a multimillion dollar contract to provide shuttle bus services on routes already serviced by the Chicago Transit Authority. The buses are seldom used by students, but the bus operator was a major contributor to the Democratic party.

I've got a brother who has accumulated over 168 credit hours without any type of degree. This is due in large part to the advanced training he received on active duty, for his naval specialty. I once asked him why he didn't apply for the degree, he could have easily attained. His answer? It's just a damn piece of paper, if they want to see what I can do, they should ask me to do something. Of course it doesn't usually work like that IRL. He did, however, get a technical job when my older brother with the degree was talking about a particular problem none of the engineers could solve. He solved the problem, they called him with a job offer. Lasted about 6 years as I recall, before Fiorina hacked those jobs off.

Went to the Jr. College system in the late 60's at Wright 3400 N. Austin blv. I came out of a Catholic High School with an average ACT score. The plan was to get the requirements out of the way for cheap and continue to a four year institute. Wright Jr was a good Junior college with high rated professors at the time and it wasn't easy to get the Associate Degree from this college. A lot of the students were Jewish and upper middle class, who had to drop out of other four year colleges for academic reasons. They were in panic mode because of the draft and needed to demonstrate being a full time student to get their 2-S deferment from the draft board. Funny, the incentive of dogging the draft kept the graduation rate as one of the highest in the Junior College system history. That's my point, the liberals give everything for free even academic credentials and there is zero personal incentive to accomplice anything constructive. Oh, above statement is politically incorrect, but to all the liberals reading this go fuck yourselves.

This is unsurprising, given the way City Colleges operates. Students are pushed through, with teachers often (often!) pressured to give passing grades to people who clearly have failed their classes. Adjunct part-time teachers--the majority of City College faculty, by the way--are underpaid, overworked, and not given enough information to successfully teach. Trust me, been there, done that and never again will teach at City Colleges, having gotten beaten up by two of the schools (fool me once...). The system is a glorified diploma mill, just a notch or two above Westwood College and other for-profit joke schools. This kind of numbers inflation is no surprise.

The prez just honored a Dallas Texas student with a foreign sounding name during astronomy night at the White House. This student designed a carry case digital alarm clock with exposed wiring rising to the level stereotypical profiles of Hollywood movie screen explosive devices. Its introduction into the classroom caused fear and panic. See something say something, right?

Heck, this Texas schooled contributor of panic and fear at a felony level of disorderly conduct in the classroom exchanged pleasantries with the nation's prez. This Dallas student was touted as a role model for scientific innovation and inspiration for students of mass instruction.

Lets not be cynical. The next home grown City College honoree may be the next great contributor to science by designing a digital pressure cooker clock, a hard wired dirty suitcase clock or a fertilizer fueled countdown alarm clock. Such innovation may get an invite to a private audience and awards banquet at the White House.

The hours themselves mean nothing. You have to be in a degree program and complete the required course work to receive the degree. You could have 400 credit hours, but if you don't have the correct courses and are not enrolled in the degree program you're not getting a diploma.

Mayor Emanuel can hold a press conference flanked by cap and gown graduating student props to tout several progressive agendas. This tactic was used by the White House when attendees where given a direct order to adorn white doctor lab coats and stethoscopes as a staged backdrop. This Joseph Goebbles tactic was employed to give the masses the impression of a unanimous approval of a must pass it to know what's in it health care legislation. Rahm will use student for similar sinister agendas.

Rahm will note most diplomaed are poor and graduates of public schools. Rahm will then get out the message of public education works! Rahm will then exclaim honorary degree awardees are the new 21st Century workforce with all those green jobs created through Quantitative Easing free money.

Rahm will then call for sufficient funding levels to be achieved by taxing homes valued over 250K. Rahm will take a shot at the county treasurer by pointing to the cap and gowned "graduates" that he has plenty of advanced computer programmers who can write those 21st Century tax programs identifying additional sources of revenue for the city's future, the young adults and children. Rahm will also call out the Republicans for slashing additional school funding, not representing their constituents in a bi-partisan fashion and shutting down government through not so common sense budget balancing stalemates.

Rahm will then in an instant get somber sporting crocodile tears and point to a staged cemetery complete with grammar school graduation pictures, teddy bears, empty Courvoisier Cognac liquor bottles, never used cap and gowns, never opened advanced textbooks, candles and posthumously awarded diploma plaques. Rahm could then blame the N.R.A. and the need for more gun control and the loss of so many public schooled students with their enormous individual contributing to the big picture potential. On cue, the uniformed top brass of C.P.D.in attendance can nod in agreement like bobbleheads clapping and barking in unison like harp seals. Never let a good opportunity go to waste.

I am a retired PO who taught at the ccc. I think this is total bull. When I taught there my department chair would have no problem with me failing students. The only thing she asked is that I be fair. This is mute point if one is deceased, but if they give out diplomas for dead students this will count as a graduate. For years acc as the hidden treasure for the Democratic party. Almost all of the administration was clothed in. Not so much of the teachers, but for administrators yes. Look at the past and present board members, mostly all Democratic insiders and donors. They gave out jobs to family, friends, and prescient workers. As SCC reports all this is to boost graduation rates and more state and federal monies. Here is what I don't understand, how is the going to go over with the North Central Accreditation Association. This is the agency that accredites ccc. If they don't accredited the ccc, then none of the classes are transferred to a 4 year college. Graduation rates are One of the criteria used in accreditation.

Many prospective scholars attend City Colleges as a economical alternative to those out of control expensive government subsidized public universities. So many poor inner city aspiring scholars lack financial resources choosing to accomplish a college level education through community colleges as an alternative to a lifetime of collegiate debt. Many responsible city college graduates sacrificed studying long hours earning passing grades, completing assignments in a punctual manner, attending and participating in an educational forum, passing exams, demonstrating an ability to set and to accomplish long-term goals and paying tuition on time. They were ultimately granted the opportunity to don a cap and gown and walk across the stage earning that sheepskin.

Along comes democrat top tier university educated Rahm with his feel good agenda. Rahm disrespects those who actually who were responsible and followed through the program satisfying the requirements required for the degree. Rahm passes out his fat sack of diplomas much like a heroin dealer gives away inhalable poison at a new drug spot on the west side. Just like a democrat to encourage irresponsibility and punish those who followed the rules in the name of equality and fairness.
Now those who actually did the work are put on a level playing field with those who failed to satisfy the minimum requirements. Kind of like a meritorious promotion.

Rahm would argue he was promoting equality with those who have enjoyed a scholarly privilege. For those who stuck it out and earned their degree, along comes the feel gooders who will cheapen and degrade your degree earned through all your worthy of praise intellectual and cerebral accomplishments. Employers will now profile the community college degrees as participation degrees not as academic degrees. RAHM MUST STOP DISRESPECTING THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE GRADUATES AND COME CLEAN !

(OT) the beginning of the tribunes story:
The veteran Chicago police officer unloaded with a right fist to the suspect's face without warning.

As surveillance video rolled at the South Side convenience store, Officer Aldo Brown pushed a stunned Jecque Howard back against a cooler, choked him with his left hand, then ripped another powerful shot to Howard's midsection.

Seconds later, as Howard lay facedown in handcuffs by a display of antifreeze, Brown reached into Howard's back pocket and found a loaded handgun. After holding the weapon up for his partner to see, Brown gave Howard a swift kick.

The recording of Howard's beating and arrest at the Omar Salma convenience store three years ago took center stage in a federal courtroom Tuesday as Brown's trial got underway on charges of using excessive force and lying in police reports.

I went to Wright in the late 60's as well. There were a lot of Catholic boys in there as well, trying to do the same thing as the Jewish folks who went there. We were ALL in panic mode back then, so let's not pretend that only Jewish kids were trying to dodge the draft by going there. I wound up going anyway and I'm Jewish. I can tell you the names of dozens of Jewish guys I knew personally who went and didn't come back. And we certainly weren't "upper middle class."

This is all part of the "hijacking of the narrative" and the rewriting of our language. Example -- "problems" became "issues" a long time ago. Drives me nuts. "The building has issues." Yeah, uh, it's going up like a bomb. Need water on it from 11 MABAS departments, or a therapy dog?

So, too, did this mass-people-behind-you-for-the-cameras tactic arise. I call it the "Phalanx." Used to be one person could stand up in front of a microphone and say their piece. Now it has to look like there is a vast army behind them, everyone drags out whatever official-printed cheap nylon windbreaker or ID-on-a-neck-ribbon they have and positions it conspicuously.

"Leaders," "spokesmen," etc. can't stand on their own two feet. Really that fearful and insecure.

"Rahm will then in an instant get somber sporting crocodile tears and point to a staged cemetery complete with grammar school graduation pictures, teddy bears, empty Courvoisier Cognac liquor bottles, never used cap and gowns, never opened advanced textbooks, candles and [now!] posthumously awarded diploma plaques.

You got the range, my man -- and the crap has to be left in the middle of the street obstructing traffic, for fear of another riot, until the city embeds a custom cast-bronze memorial plaque in a city sidewalk, in commemoration of a strongarm robber who subsequently dived his huge a__ halfway into a squad car and tried to rip away an officer's service weapon.

Yeah, funny how those ron and tee-keela and Koo-vo-say bottles are always empty..."We dreenk een hees honor!" You drink until you fall down and regurgitate. Remember that smashup funeral at Mount Olive over the summer, cars knocking down gravestones, etc.? Most dignified, and worthy of the utmost "respect" -- that latter concept having been explained to me as "We do what we want, when we want, where we want, and you keep your mouth shut about it."

"We're driving fast
"From a dream of the past
"To the brave new world
"Where nothing will last
"That comes from the past
"It's a brave new world..."

"$200 million plus will be spent to build a new campus at Malcolm X College with another major construction project planned for Olive-Harvey College. Both colleges are notable for being underperforming institutions and in each case the existing campus buildings are less than fifty years old."

...but we got to keep those famous leased semi-dumps rolling out, so many they jam up the cement mixers trying to get in, with the drivers yelling "Come ON! I got a hot load already and I can't put no more water in it!"

The recording of Howard's beating and arrest at the Omar Salma convenience store three years ago took center stage in a federal courtroom Tuesday as Brown's trial got underway on charges of using excessive force and lying in police reports.
==============
Just out of curiosity what do you think should happen to a cop who deliberately engages in misconduct on video and than lies about it in his report?

It can't just be ignored like it would be if there was no video.

How many times have you stopped thug scum, and they have "nothin" so they say, then the officer founded a loaded gun in said thugs pockets! Thank God we did not suffer the death of another "blue lives matter" brother, the people that take coppers to trial on this nonsense really should be required to walk in the thuglife areas to see how nice these people really are! A jury of your peers says the constitution and law, but my peers and brothers and sisters in Blue would be the same people I ride with at work, the same people that patrol gangland chiraq, otherwise you have no idea what a working copper goes through everyday protecting innocent people, you have no idea what it is like to deal with thugs that would just as happily shoot you as they would be to injure you!

Let's see this happen...

Over a period o seventeen years in the 70s-80s I attended the following colleges and universities part time as my civilian jobs and becoming a police officer permitted.

University of Illinois Chicago

Mayfair College (a Chicago City College that no longer exists)

Wilber Wright College

Kennedy King College

Northwestern University

Citywide College (credit from the Police Academy)

Northwestern University Traffic Institute

Northeastern Illinois University

If I send the Chancellor of Chicago City Colleges a letter will he or she grant me a Degree, with Honors for putting al those courses in Police Administration, Speech, Photography, Mass Media and Theater, and Fire Science and Technology to good use?

I'll hang it on the wall. Before I die I hope.

And it only takes "provided they had fulfilled three-fourths of the requirements." to get a degree if you are dead. Does that go for the living also? Another discriminatory act by gov.
