The future of education: you pay corporations to train you to work for them.

Thanks to the nice supporter of on-line ed who pointed me to Regent Beauty Institute:

Hayes Batson President & CEO

Hayes Batson purchased Regency from his father-in-law in 2002 with a vision to deliver a better kind of cosmetology education. Prior to joining Regency, Hayes was president and chief executive officer of Epotec, Inc., a privately-owned behavioral health software company. He has also been a management consultant with McKinsey & Company, Inc. and an investment banker with William Blair & Company L.L.C.

Hayes earned his master’s of business administration degree from the University Of Chicago Graduate School Of Business and his bachelor’s degree in economics and psychology from Kenyon College.



The owner & ceo of the Regency franchise of for-profit trade schools = the son-in-law of Daniel Kunin, of this corporate family:

So you can pay Regency Inc to teach you how to cut hair, then you can go to work for one of the global Regis franchises, & they'll pay you shit wages.

Ain't it great!

A side benefit is that Regency will have a computerized file in their database on you, & thus Regis can blackball you from employment anywhere in the world if they didn't like something about you during your "training".

Love the smell of fascism in the morning~!


Good luck protesting anything at *these* institutes of higher learning.

Good luck trying to organize young people for anything but a corporate cheer, either.

And nothing more. That's why all that subversive stuff is coming out of the textbooks.
