The School That Skipped Ethics Class The NYTimes is reporting that the Brooks Institure of Photography may face possible closure over some false recruiting claims. "...the state concluded that Brooks routinely inflated claims of its graduates' success in order to draw new students. Posing as a fledgling photographer, an agency employee was told by an admissions counselor earlier this year that she could expect to make $50,000 to $150,000 in her first year out of school. ...only 45 of the 151 graduates from the class of 2003 are working full time. They make an average of about $26,000 and owe $74,000 in loans, according to the state's report." According to the article Brooks' students may be given some restitution. Which is great for them, because I don't know any photographers making $150,000 a year. And if you're making $26,000 with $74,000 in student loans -- you're gonna need every penny you can get.
