Corinthian Colleges Inc. was forced to shut down after a U.S. Department of Education investigation found that the for-profit college company misrepresented job placement data used to recruit students. Cal State Fullerton’s Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership has stepped up to help redirect approximately 1200 displaced Corinthians students.

Cal State Fullerton responded to a U.S. Department of Education crisis call to assist students displaced by the closing of Corinthian Colleges. Corinthian Colleges Inc., which also operated Heald College, Everest College and WyoTech campuses, entangled itself in controversy
when a U.S. Department of Education investigation found that the company misrepresented job placement data used to recruit students. The investigation found that the Heald College system counted jobs outside of students’ fields of study, jobs that began before students
graduated and even temporary jobs — some as short as two days. The college then used these inflated numbers in promoting its programs. The for-profit college chain was fined $30 million in April and, two weeks later, closed its doors. This closure displaced around 16,000 students and left
many flooded with debt. CSUF’s Center for Research on Educational Access and Leadership (C-REAL) is at the forefront of the California State University system effort to help the displaced students. C-REAL, in association with nonprofit Beyond 12 and the National Association
of Student Financial Aid Administrators, responded to the educational crisis and constructed a volunteer-based advising program to help former Corinthian students navigate their way into new platforms of educational options. SEE AID

all-inclusive recovery program for student athletes. “We are there to help prevent injuries, we’re there to diagnose injuries and we’re there to treat injuries, so this particular clinic is potentially open seven days a week … it is designed for exactly that purpose. It is to care for the health and safety of our student athletes,” Max said. With 15 teams and nearly
400 athletes at CSUF, there are plenty of people to tend to through the seasons. Max and her team of certified athletic trainers treat everything as small as blisters and abrasions to major concussions and appendicitis. They even cope with any psychological or sociological problems that athletes might have. SEE HEALING

ERICA SHARP Daily Titan Cal State Fullerton geology professor James Parham, together with paleontologist Edwin Cadena of the Senckenberg Naturmuseum in Germany, unveiled research on the oldest marine turtle found to date. The pair published their research Sept. 7 in PaleoBios, a peer-reviewed journal by the University of California Museum of Paleontology. The turtle, whose scientific name is Desmatochleys padillai, was recently found by paleontologist
Mary Luz Parra and her two brothers in two primary sites in Colombia: Loma la Cabrera and Loma la Catalina. However, Parham said that fossils of D. padallai were already found 70 years prior to the recent findings. The fossils sat in a display case in UC Berkeley. Although Parham knew about the turtle, he said he began to take genuine interest when newer and better versions of the specimen, like the ones discovered by Parra, were found. These recent specimens provided more precise location data, so the surrounding rocks’ ages could be more accurately determined, Parham said. SEE TURTLE
