Until Northwestern College files a lawsuit against me, I will continue to exercise my right to the freedom of speech by communicating information on the Internet about this crappy college.
I would also like to publicly thank Ed Magedson. Ed Magedson is the owner of Ripoff Report.
Thanks Ed for helping people stand up to the rich bullies.

The owner of Northwestern College is so stupid that he seems to think that I don't have a right to a civil trial in this matter. He seems to think that I don't have any rights. I do have rights, plenty of them.
I have the right to a trial in this matter. If given the chance, I would kick his a*s in court Pro Se. Like I've been posting on this report for over two years, "Larry Schumacher, CEO of Northwestern College isn't very smart."
In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.

I decided to forget about this report and everyone in it and just be happy again. I'm going to take long walks again, workout, dance in my kitchen with my headphones on and most of all, I'm going to laugh with my kids again.

Northwestern College is the most expensive 2 year college in the state
AUTHOR: - ()
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 24, 2017
I’ll be the one that will be accused of being notoriously difficult because I had the courage to assert a strong opinion about all this bulls*.
The behavior by the owners of Northwestern College and its stakeholders has been an indirect resistance to my demands and a direct avoidance of a legal confrontation for the past two years. Northwestern College as well as their stakeholders have been procrastinating and manipulating behind the scenes for more than two years, to no avail.

AND THESE LOW-LIFES ACT LIKE THEY ARE DOING MINORITIES A FAVOR
But when a bipartisan group of 118 Members of Congress urge the Education Department to re-evaluate ‘gainful employment’; when Members of the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus express concern over how the regulation would affect minorities; and when the department’s own inspector general opens a probe into whether Wall Street short-sellers were given undue access and influence, you know it’s time to take a step back and start over,” said Lawrence Schumacher, president of Northwestern College.
“Tragically, we have now reached a point in this process where real people with real desires to obtain college degrees will be effectively shut out of opportunities to gain the specialty training and skills necessary for an ever-competitive job market,” added Schumacher. “Instead of publishing this harmful, misguided rule, the ‘reset’ button needs to be hit, before real damage is done.”

One month after the political donation, the low-lifes went to Washington DC
Dated: April 24, 2015
The greedy low-lifes that own Northwestern College paid $10,000.00 to talk to these Congressional leaders, most importantly, those heading up the US House Education and Workforce Committee because they don’t want to be held accountable to the graduates or the government for the very high debt-to-income and default rates of the former students.
They know the prices that they charge for these degrees will have annual loan payments more than 8 percent of the graduates total earnings or more than 20 percent of their discretionary earnings.
The owners of Northwestern College were more concerned about the impact that the federal regulatory agenda was having on their own family.
In the mean time, the owners of Northwestern College were living in a house worth $1,350,573.00.
PROOF THAT NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE WENT TO WASHINGTON DC TO CRY “POOR-a*s”
Northwestern College President Lawrence Schumacher and his wife Gail, the College’s Executive Vice President of Operations, recently had the opportunity to travel to Washington, DC to meet with numerous Congressional leaders, most importantly, those heading up the US House Education and Workforce Committee. The purpose of the trip was to discuss higher education, the Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, and most importantly, the impact that the federal regulatory agenda was having on family-owned institutions like Northwestern College, a 113 year old college located in the Chicagoland area.
“Higher Education institutions don’t operate in a bubble,” commented President Lawrence Schumacher. “We are highly regulated and operate under the direction of our accreditor – the Higher Learning Commission – in addition to the statutory guidelines set out by the federal and state governments and the administrative rules set forth by the US Department of Education and the Illinois Board of Higher Education. Having an opportunity to talk to congressional leadership and to share with them both the positive and negative impacts of these statutory and administrative dictates has become a necessity in the operations of our institution.” President Schumacher further commented that he and his wife were warmly received by each of the Representatives they engaged with, and that they were grateful to have had the opportunity to discuss higher education with so many fine Congressmen that have the ability to impact how Northwestern College operates.
Over the course of their two days in the nation’s Capital, the Schumachers (long-time owners of Northwestern College), were able to speak one on one with Congressman John Kline of Minnesota (Chairman of the House Education & Workforce Committee); Congressman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina (Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Higher Education & Workforce Training); and Congressman Ann Wagner of Missouri (Senior Deputy Whip).

Illinois Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti, knew about the BBB complaint and the deception and still did her speech for Northwestern College
Illinois Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti, Northwestern College’s 2016 commencement speaker.
Laura Pollastrini
Northwestern College President Lawrence Schumacher announced that the 2016 Commencement Speaker for Northwestern College’s June 10th ceremony will be Lt. Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti. She is the state’s 47th lieutenant governor and the first Latina lieutenant governor in the United States.
A wife and working mother of three young children, she is an attorney by trade and formerly an adjunct professor of law. Her storybook rise to Lt. Governor began as a child of teenage parents outside of Miami, Florida, an Ecuadorian immigrant father and a Cuban refugee mother. Despite extreme poverty, a language barrier with Spanish as her first language and some enormous odds, her love of learning and the determination of her parents to create a better life for their children helped to set her on a course to make history.
“Lt. Governor Sanguinetti’s personal story is sure to provide an inspirational message to the College’s 2016 graduates,” commented President Schumacher. “Her path to the state’s capitol evidences that no goal is beyond anyone’s reach, despite the odds!”
This year’s Northwestern College commencement ceremony will take place on Friday, June 10, at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago at McCormick Place, 2301 S. Lake Shore Drive. The ceremony will begin at 5 p.m. and include approximately 300 graduates. In the past, commencement ceremonies have yielded nearly 4,000 attendees in support of the graduation class.
As a young child, Sanguinetti’s parents introduced her to the piano at the local community center. It was her love of piano and her gift to play that led to Sanguinetti’s acceptance into The New World School of the Arts in Miami where she became an accomplished pianist. This educational opportunity helped open the door to college for her; she attended Florida International University where she received her bachelor’s degree in piano performance.
After graduation Sanguinetti moved to Chicago to attend The John Marshall Law School where she not only acquired a passion for the law, but fell in love with Chicago and Illinois. She began her legal career as an Assistant Attorney General in Illinois and settled into the state that she now calls home. After marrying her husband Raymond they had three children, which led to involvement in their elementary and middle schools, parent-teacher associations, Cub Scouts, park districts and youth baseball associations.
Sanguinetti’s political roots began in 2011 when she was elected to the Wheaton City Council. Then in 2014 Bruce Rauner selected her to be his running mate for Governor. In January of 2015, Sanguinetti was sworn in as lieutenant governor, making history not only in Illinois as the state’s first Hispanic lieutenant governor, but as the first Latina lieutenant governor in the nation.
Lt. Governor Sanguinetti will give the keynote address at Northwestern College’s Commencement Ceremony on June 10. The College has well over a century of history in the Chicago area, having been established in 1902. It was purchased by the Schumacher Family in 1958 and has grown from one campus in Chicago serving a handful of students in accounting and stenography, to two campuses (Bridgeview and Chicago-Jefferson Park) in addition to NC Online. Today the college serves approximately 1,500 students and maintains several dozen areas of study. In 2010 Northwestern College opened its Violet L. Schumacher School of Nursing, named for President Lawrence Schumacher’s mother who purchased the college in 1958.
“We are excited that Illinois Lieutenant Governor Evelyn Sanguinetti has agreed to provide the Commencement Address for our Class of 2016!” commented President Schumacher. “Her life has taken some amazing turns, yielded her a great education, and made history across this nation. We look forward to her sharing that story with our Northwestern College Class of 2016!”

I have been sitting on this report for a year and a half. These people with so much power and money have sat on this report and waited to harass me, instead of taking me to court. They have motive to harass me and this report proves it.
harassment
(either harris-meant or huh-rass-meant) n. the act of systematic and/or continued unwanted and annoying actions of one party or a group, including threats and demands. The purposes may vary, including posting a Ripoff Report, racial prejudice, personal malice, an attempt to force someone to quit a job or grant sexual favors, apply illegal pressure to collect a bill, or merely gain sadistic pleasure from making someone fearful or anxious. Such activities may be the basis for a lawsuit if due to discrimination based on race or sex, a violation on the statutory limitations on collection agencies, involve revenge by an ex-spouse.

Alumni Services The services offered through the Office of Career Development & Alumni Services continues after a student graduates from Northwestern College. Alumni are offered lifetime career assistance and may visit and use the career resources of the office anytime during their career.
ALIDA STAR GEBSER and ALIDA JEAN McCUL-LOUGH, PETITIONERS v. LAGO VISTA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 96—1866
[June 22, 1998]
Justice O’Connor delivered the opinion of the Court.
The question in this case is when a school district may be held liable in damages in an implied right of action under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, 86 Stat. 373, as amended, 20 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. (Title IX), for the sexual harassment of a student by one of the district’s teachers. We conclude that damages may not be recovered in those circumstances unless an official of the school district who at a minimum has authority to institute corrective measures on the district’s behalf has actual notice of, and is deliberately indifferent to, the teacher’s misconduct.
The services offered through the Office of Career Development & Alumni Services continues after a student graduates from Northwestern College. Northwestern College had actual public notice of the continued sexual harassment in the form of surveillance by some people in my neighborhood. It is posted on Ripoff Report, Northwestern College, Bridgeview, IL.
I distinctly stated repeatedly in my Ripoff Report, Northwestern College, Bridgeview that I was placed under the surveillance and it was another form of continuing sexual harassment by Northwestern College. It also proves that the officials of the school who at a minimum had the authority to institute corrective measures and the officials chose not to address the complaints.
I used Ripoff Report, Northwestern College, Bridgeview, IL as a form of public notice and public record. It proves that I gave the proper officials of Northwestern College, Bridgeview, IL actual knowledge of my grievance and they were deliberately indifferent to my complaints. Therefore, that gives me a claim for recovery for my tuition from Northwestern College.

Why I'm on Ripoff Report
AUTHOR: - ()
SUBMITTED: Friday, December 18, 2015
The only reason that I have written this Ripoff Report was because I can't get any of these son of a b****** in court. We are talking about real powerful people here. If they do this s*** to me, then they will do it to you.
People go behind my back all the time to try to make money or brownie points with Larry Schumacher. My current boss just did it. Northwestern College has my SS#. The library just did it again on the 7th of November. Before that it was an old lady in my neighborhood. The list goes on an on. The people that got involved in this know who they are and so do I. Phone records will prove that I'm telling the truth. I do keep very good records of this bull****.
I grew up really tough and I can read people very well. My current boss, had her fun and got in with Marcello and Schumacher, but it bit her in the a**. I went after her for it and posted her on Ripoff Report. Now I'm trying to free her from the grips of Ripoff Report. The library people did it when I went to the libary on the 7th of November. I knew they would when I walked in there.
I let it go and was waiting to get word from Mr. Magedson. He never said a word about it to me. I played stupid just to see how he handles business. He disappointed me. Magedson is smart, but I noticed that he uses the mathmatical side of his brain.
He has kept the last posting of my ripoff report at Sept. 9, 2015. That is when I gave everyone the impression that I was a just a sweet domistic survivor . He seemed to like that weakness in me. I find that to be very intertaining.
Mr. Magedson, I can be every bit as smart as you you. You push people to lead and they like to follow me. I am leading just like you, none the less. I will not be with a man until I have a good income and that is all there is to it. I will never be in a situation where I am trapped again in my life. I will stay poor before that happens.
The people at Northwestern College are idiots. Most people wouldn't have subjected themselves to all this bull****. I can't let it go. I refuse to let these men with low self esteem step on me. If they want to try, then they will just have to knock my a** down, because I refuse to lay down for it.

The graduation rate at Northwestern College Chicago is very low - 24%.
I have been accused of trying to find a man while I was a student at Northwestern College because I was a single mother that didn't have a lot of money. These people have ruined my chances at a career and they have tried to make me look bad.
Common since would tell you that if I was man hunting, I would have went to a school that had a better male to female ratio. Yet, Northwestern College has a very high transfer rate of mostly female students. I'm telling you, these instructors are really trying to hook up with these pretty female students and they can make your life hell after graduation. I am living proof of that.
I have been accused of trying to find a man at my public library since I graduated over seven years ago, like the pickings there are so great.
I never had a facebook account where I could really go on a man hunt if that was my mission and the only picture that I ever had on the internet was the picture I took for my Rip Off Report, and it was a very modest picture of me.

Northwestern College has a very high transfer rate. I wanted to post my transfer paper to show you that I wanted to leave like everyone else. The only reason that I stayed was because I thought I could avoid the trouble makers and just walk away from this school when I finished.
It has been over seven years that I graduated and between what a male employee at Northwestern College had to say behind my back after graduation and the unexplained time gap since graduation, I couldn't get a job as a paralegal to save my life. Sure, I've been offered a interview since my rip off report, but it was a 'day late and a dollar short.'
If I was a consumer looking for a college, I really would pass on this 'for profit', store front college. It really is a joke. Except in the end you won't be laughing. Northwestern College will be laughing. All the way to the bank.

I have a picture of my transfer papers to leave Northwestern College but I can't seem to download the picture of it on this site for your review.
The date on the paper is Nov. 1, 2006.That was less then one year after I started classes at this sad excuse of a school.

Legal battles are for the courtroom and not Rip Off Report

SUBMITTED: Tuesday, September 22, 2015
For all the people that have been watching my report, I have been fighting my case as if I were on trial. In a civil case you only need to prove your case by 51% to win. I would kick Northwestern Colleges *** in court at this point.
I was mistaken for feeling that I was on trial here on Rip Off Report. I am not on trial. Trials are for the courtroom not here. I won't be posting anymore. I will let you know if I get served. I won't and I aready know that. So, if you are looking for a college to serve you future needs, unless you want to be put through what I have been put through stay away from Northwestern College and Frank Marcello because you should never gamble on your future.
Shumacher, you won't do **** to my face, you little sneak. Marcello and Pecko I'll never see you in court and I know that. Mike McNamara you would have nailed my a*s to the wall for posting this on Rip Off Report if you didn't have herpes and if your phone records proved that you didn't make that back stabbing call.
I don't think I ever gave the impression of being helpless on this site. Besides, I already did all the work on this case. So, if anyone claims to be compassionate, I just don't buy it at this point, and that should be understandable.
I have the heart of an angel and I could give the devil a fight he wouldn't forget. My next post will be if I get served court papers.
Peace out world,

inShare |
Solo practitioner Mazie Harris was inspired to start her new business, the Chicago Legal Café, when she opened up the September issue of the ABA Journal.
An article about "legal rebels" who are remaking the profession featured Jeffrey Hughes, a California lawyer who had opened up a combination coffeehouse and storefront law office in Santa Monica.
"It kind of sparked my attention because I’m always trying to think outside the box" when it comes to the practice of law, Harris tells the ABA Journal. Hughes’ idea was appealing because he served the same clientele as she did—the working-class community. She also liked the idea of providing legal services in a relaxed environment.
"I’ve never seen myself practicing law in a high-rise, that whole kind of traditional approach to practicing law," she says. Harris favors gym shoes even when she wears a nice blouse or skirt, and wants her clients to feel just as comfortable.
In November, Harris was on a plane to meet with Hughes. She spent three days learning about his practice model and decided to bring the concept to Chicago. The Chicago Legal Café opened for business this spring in the city’s West Loop.
Customers can buy coffee or pastries, and if they have a legal problem, help is available. Harris’ law firm is housed in the café, in a loft area just above the coffee business. Harris handles real estate and civil litigation and has a network of about 15 other lawyers for cases ranging from criminal defense to personal injury to medical malpractice.
Would-be clients who venture into the loft go through an intake procedure and are matched with a lawyer who can handle their problem. The law firm earns the $75 fee the clients pay for a consultation with a lawyer, and it also receives a one-third referral fee. Harris makes sure all the lawyers in the network have malpractice insurance, requires monthly status reports on the cases, and checks in with the clients as well.
Each lawyer in the network comes to the café once a month for a four-hour stint, although an additional meeting may be scheduled when a new client needs a consultation. One lawyer comes in every Tuesday to draft wills. Copy and fax services are also available.
In a few weeks of operation, Harris’ new law firm has generated about 10 clients. The feedback, she says, has been positive. A lot of the new clients didn’t know where to find a lawyer and didn’t want to just pick one out of the phone book. They liked the relaxed atmosphere and the quick turnaround. They also liked the coffee.

I think the Legal Rebels project could be even more inspiring if the tour crew were to do a song or two on the next go-round. Linking their "songs of the day" to the coverage just doesn't provide the same muscial element that a few rousing group sing-alongs would. So, I'm thinking, wouldn't it be great to displace a couple minutes of the daily small talk between destinations with a group song? (Then, in addition to the logo T-shirts, they could sell collections of the Rebels Tour sing-alongs).

This would work better as a bar. You're already supposed to be able to get advice from your bar tender, and people who are in trouble and need a lawyer would be better served by alcohol than coffee.

please, bz. that's like saying no one with any sense would put their haircut in the hands of Super Cuts. the fact is, the working class has legal problems, and 99% of these people can't foot the minimum 5k retainer at most small to mid size firms required to just get through the door. i think this is a great idea, particularly in light of the emergence of a "limited representation" era where attorneys are only assuming small chunks of larger litigation issues and legal problems. maybe no one with any sense who is silver spoon/privileged would do this, but for most people, it may be the best option they have.

Whenever I needed to hire a lawyer it seemed they charged more per hour than me but I paid it to get the representation I needed -- even if I couldn't afford it.
The bar, hot dog stand, or coffee shop providing legal advice is a cute marketing ploy but has to be the worst way possible to find a lawyer.
Since, as another series of comments around this site claim there are many lawyers out of work or unable to find work, there may be a big market for inexpensive lawyers who provide service to those who can't afford the big law firm.

Dear Frank Marcello and Joe Pecko,
If there is one thing that I learned from my my mom and that I live by to this day, and it's, " don't run off at the mouth unless you have the a** to back it up." Take me to court and back up whatever your story is at this stage of the game. If you don't, than that is a really bad reflection on Donna Carroll and Larry Schumacher for sticking by your side. Are you going to just throw them under the bus? I bet you do!

Subject: RE:
In Illinois law, all employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent future retaliation for a person speaking up on the matter harassment and protecting the employees or students and in my case, that means going to school to seek future employment and that EEOC also feels are obligated to be protected.
If I am fabricating such allegations then that would be a direct lie and is actionable in court as slander by the accused, whom are both lawyers that chose not to defend themselves against me in the past with a legal remedy. Why? If I'm a liar, then take me to court and prove it. It shouldn't be hard for them.
In my case, it would be defamation against the accused, because all my interactions with the harassers and executives enrolled was in fact in writing by e-mail for a period of more than a year. All they would have to do is prove defamation.
It wouldn't be unique for a person in my position to lie. A female that is unemployed in a bad economy. But, BBB is now involved. So, there is now an obligation on both sides to find a remedy to this long standing problem. There is no protection in place to prevent retaliation in the future. That is my fear. I will find work now. Will I keep it?
Am I conjuring up sexual harassment? Is there a chance of future retaliation? Is this just retaliation because of my inability to get employment in six years post graduation because of a bad economy, or substandard performance in applying for work? Such as resume, cover letters or interviewing skills? We are talking about six years that have past.
Is it unreasonable for me to believe that there will be no reasonable steps to prevent future retaliation, post employment from these men? After all, the accused are still considered innocent by the executives, when it comes to their actions, career and/or public-reputation.
School transcripts will prove that I graduated in 2008 with a 3.67 GPA, with Associates in an Applied Science Degree: Major, Paralegal. So, therefore it can not be underperformance or substandard performance reviews as far as my work goes. Because those are documented facts. You put the work in front of me, I do it very well.
Or are there negative reviews on my character over these past years, "She's a s**t." Is this one of the most common conspiracies used to cover up the sexual harassment by the defendants? That is a logical conclusion for me to come to in a case like this. What else could it be?
Even if I were a "s**t", (which I am not) it is still viewed as sexual harassment, if that gossip prevented me from employment for six years. I have all my e-mail as evidence. Showing that I wanted a legal remedy taken to prevent future retaliation and none was offered. I was not treated as an equal. It's pretty sad, if you see how hard I tried to be heard and the e-mail to the executives prove it.
In this case, I'm alleging, "this for that." The instructors were asking for sex and dates from me in order for me to gain employment after graduation. That is why I am in this situation. Not because I'm stupid or unprofessional.
It is now my burden to prove that the legal instructors, Joe Pecko and Frank Marcello first made unwanted sexual advances. Then prove that employment after graduation in my field of study was conditioned on acceptance of those sexual advances.
I will not prove that fact with what they did as evidence, but what they chose not to do. They both have chosen not to address this very serious matter in court. I requested this many, many times over a long period of time e-mail's to executives to prove it.
Out of fairness to the executives that the e-mail's are addressed to, I have to argue that it is common for people to allege that an employee of theirs made a concrete sexual advance, with a clear "or else" condition attached to it, when in fact they were just acting like jerks.
Why isn't it strange to the executives that these men would still run away from the matter? I have e-mail's proving I was writing a lot and that someone should have done something and nothing has changed.
From an evidence standpoint, my attached e-mail and all relevant documents will in fact tell the real story. The complete story.
I don't expect anything other than a false compassion from all parties involved at this point. But, I don't want compassion, as if I am a child or a person of a lower value. I never did. I am an equal to each and every one of the people involved because of the civil rights that I was born with as an American.
I want to be addressed and treated as an equal to prevent future retaliation. They should know that, with all of their education and power. It's time to address this issue properly, so that I do not worry about retaliation in the future, when I do gain employment.
It is not an unfair request.

Attorney Generals office contacts me, Thanks, but no thanks.

I have not applied for any legal positions since June of 2015, that was since I posted my Rip Off Report and just before I filed my BBB complaint against Northwestern College. I will not be applying for any legal positions in the future because I am now holding a 'peace protest' against Northwestern College's sexual discriminatory employment practices. For eight years I could not get employment in the legal field no matter how hard I tried.
It is September 17, 2015, I received a call that went into my voice mail. I listened to the message and it was from Lisa Madigan's office. They are offering me an interview for an Administrative/Clerk for the Civil Rights and Disability Rights Bureau at the Attorney Generals Office. I did not return the call. Well, I called and hung up right away as if I were a child. I don't know why I did that.
Thank you Ms. Madigan very much, but I will have to decline the offer for the interview at this time. I am sure you understand why I feel that this action that I am taking against Northwestern College and its affiliates that is posted on Rip Off Report is necessary. I feel that excepting the position in your office at this time, if the interview went well, would currently conflict with my own civil rights case. I have to win my case against Northwestern College and get my tuition returned first.
I will not be needing your services or your office to investigate this matter either. I sent you my complaint and stated that I did not want you to contact Northwestern College and that is still in effect. I sent that to you, so you would have Northwestern College on file in your office. Mr. Magedson and Rip Off Report is and has been serving my needs rather well.
Northwestern College, if you want to make a mends, then give me and my children eight years of our lives back or pay me for the years of employment that I had stolen from me. I write that statement with tears in my eyes from the rage that I feel against all of you. Take back all the pain that all of you have caused me and my family over the years. You even let me defend my honor as a female on top of everything else that I was put through. That's what they call, “ adding insult to injury.”
You people took something as basic as going outside away from me for a year. Ms. Carroll, I have the emails proving that you let me be afraid to go out because my honor as a woman was under attack by strangers or acquaintances and you did nothing to address that issue with me. I never once got any feed back from you.
You didn't even email me back. Ok, because of your evasiveness, you can deny that and say I'm paranoid. That is when I will call you out. Your lack of action taken on my behalf let me feel even more concerned. I'm thinking, “maybe her employee was having me watched and followed.” That's kind of sadistic of you.
Ms. Carroll, President of Dominican University wrote in one of her blogs about herself, “I was a good Catholic girl.” Ms. Carroll, were you even listening to the preacher on Sunday? Like when he talked about the golden rule, “do onto others as you would have them do onto you.” Maybe, Ms. Carroll just didn't see me as your equal, so that rule didn't apply? Is that it Ms. Carroll? We are not equals. I am a better person then you because I don't judge people like you do and I wouldn't have let someone ask repeatedly for help and not respond to them. You earn a lot of money and I am poor, but I am still a better person then you.
So, Ms. Carroll go ahead and pray for Jesus's help or ask for forgiveness and then ask for his help, or whatever you feel you need from him as a good Catholic. Don't forget something else that same preacher would have talked about when you were such a good Catholic girl, “ you reap what you sow.”
I would be a hypocrite if I said that I'm a perfect Christian, because Jesus also said, “ love thy enemies.” I couldn't honestly tell Jesus that I was sorry for being angry and resentful if I died tonight and was standing in front of him on 'my' judgment day. Maybe, that's what he really meant when he said that we needed his love to get into heaven. You need to think about that Ms. Carroll!

I posted a very good legal argument just below this post and before that legal arrangement I have posted evidence to fight my case. I know that by now a lot of people are reading this post to see what I will do next. I feel that I need to post this letter on Rip Off Report to state a few things.
If you are capable of doing legal research, you can check my court cases and see that nine times out of ten I have won my arguments Pro Se in a lot of motions. Mr. Marcello once told me that the reason that I won my cases so often was because I was pretty and that's not true.
I would be a liar if I stated that it hurt my cases by being pretty. The real reason that I would win so often is because I like judges very much and it shows when I talk to them. I see them as being very protective and they make me feel safe and I trust them. I don't see judges as mean at all even when they had to be strict on me.
I could always tell they felt bad when they had to be strict. They're just really, really powerful and protective. Judge Martin at the Markham Courthouse was one of my favorites. When I talk to them, I do only what they ask of me, “tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” They ask me questions as a lawyer would do, and I answer them honestly.
As you read my Rip Off Report, I did put in the legal and internet research and fought my cases against these people very hard on my own, just like I would do in front of a judge. So, to say that I am asking Mr. Magedson to fight my case for me because I'm pretty would be a horrible injustice to me and my legal skills and for what Rip Off Report stands for. That is the ability for people to express their first amendment right to the freedom of speech without his interference. I did just what the instructions on Rip Off Report said to do, “tell the truth”
Logic would tell you that if I walked through this world using my charms and looks on men, then I wouldn't have been struggling to put myself through college for a better future. A college that advertises on the internet that they improve the quality of life for single mothers upon graduation.
Nobody goes into $30,000.00 in bad debt to find a man at school. Only a narcissistic person could come up with that reasoning. Larry Schumacher's argument that I enrolled in school to hook up with an instructor, again goes against his advertisement on the internet about improving single mothers quality of life if they work hard and investment in his product. It doesn't state that female students had to have a lot of money. If they had money, then they wouldn't need his stupid school. Mr. Schumacher is not very bright, but I'll give him credit, he will try to buy his way out of a mess.
Mr. Magedson has been helping me, when nobody else could give a d**n about what happened to me and my family. I am a mature adult that has a lot of bad student loan debt, for no other reason but because two legal instructors couldn't take no for an answer. I am on Rip Off Report because I will never earn enough to pay off this student loan. I asked Mr. Magedson for help and he has been helping me.
It has been said that, “Magedson breaks kneecaps.” Marcello, Pecko, Ms. Carroll and Mr. Schumacher get me in front of a judge and let's see if he doesn't make you feel like your kneecaps have been broken.

Federal Law states that peaceful protests on Rip Off Report is a 'protected' activity
AUTHOR: - ()
SUBMITTED: Monday, September 07, 2015
LEGALLY, RIP OFF REPORT IS A ‘PROTECTED’ ACTIVITY FOR MY PEACEFUL PROTEST
Courts do protect my right to inform consumers about Northwestern College on Rip Off Report for as long as Mr. Magedson feels it's necessary for me to use his services and I will continue my peaceful protest on Rip Off Report as I oppose the sexual discriminatory employment practices by Northwestern College and all of it's affiliates.
Northwestern College and their former employee’s Joe Pecko and Frank Marcello’s surveillance that they have had me under by the people in my neighborhood was and is a deliberate attempt to deter my 'protected' activity.
My public criticism on Rip Off Report against Northwestern College, President Larry Schumacher, Attorney at Law and former Legal Instructor Frank Marcello, Attorney at Law and former Legal Instructor and Director of Legal Studies, Joseph Pecko, Retired Deputy Chief of Police and Executive Director of Licensed for Life, Mike McNamara and President of Dominican University, Donna Carroll is a 'protected' activity and the surveillance that I have been put under constitutes as an 'adverse action' taken against me and it is unlawful.
In a state or in a federal court of law, a violation could be found against any and all of these people that I have listed on Rip Off Report, whether the violation took place in or out of Northwestern College. In order for me to prove unlawful retaliation, I have direct evidence with my recent post to Rip Off Report. These people would also have a motive to take this adverse action against me since my EEOC complaint in the form of surveillance for the soul purpose of collecting any negative reviews against me.
Even if Northwestern College produces recent evidence of a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason against my sexual discrimination charge, a violation could still be found against Northwestern College, Frank Marcello, Joe Pecko, Mike McNamara and Donna Carroll if this explanation is a pretext designed to hide their true retaliatory motive.
Northwestern College treated me differently from other graduates from Northwestern College since I graduated in June of 2008 and the emails that I have sent to each and everyone of these people over the years defending my sexuality, as if were a employment prerequisite proves that.
Northwestern College's current adverse action taken against me will not be believable because of the time it took them to address this in a court of law since my first complaints that I sent by email to Frank Marcello, Joe Pecko, Larry Schumacher and Donna Carroll. I can also show that Northwestern College and the people involved subjected me to heightened scrutiny over my sexuality after I engaged in the 'protected' activity with EEOC.
That is when my emails to them and my EEOC “letter of the right to sue' and Rip Off Report complaint in addition to their phone records will serve as direct evidence on my behalf. My emails to Mike McNamara also proved that I suffered emotional distress and depression because of all that I have been put through by Northwestern College and it's associates in this unlawful act of retaliation.
As for my opponents trying to state that it was incompetence on my part that prevented me from employment in the legal field for over seven years post graduation and using my typo's in my emails to them and on Rip Off Report against me, then I will produce my school transcripts proving that I earned a 3.67 GPA. I will also have direct evidence that I did not use Northwestern College's 'Career Placement Service' in fear of retaliation and then produce a prescription for glasses for the judge to review as evidence, proving that I do have a disability that I can not afford to remedy this problem at this time, even though I did buy over the counter Reading Glasses this summer, which help with the problem, but it was not a cure.

Beware of Frank Marcello and Northwestern College
AUTHOR: - ()
SUBMITTED: Sunday, August 30, 2015
NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE AND FRANK MARCELLO
For all the future students looking for an education, I think that you really need to know what to avoid when picking a college or an instructor to invest your hard work and money into.
So, today I am writing you a letter to tell you of some my experiences when I was a student at Northwestern College with Frank Marcello. The emails to Mike McNamara explain the stalking by Frank Marcello, Joe Pecko and Northwestern College. That continue in other forms as of this day.
On my first day of class at the Northwestern College, I met Legal Instructor, Frank Marcello. He was dressed to the nines and very arrogant as he walked into the class for the first time. I had just moved and I was so tired that I needed to hold my head up by propping it against my hand.
I am the type of person that hates arrogance in any form because that is the fastest way to become a victim. I know this because I have mastered using peoples arrogance against them, when I am back in to a corner. Sociopaths and Psychopaths depend on arrogance from people to catch their prey. Unless they're manic, then they'll just attack. Narcissistic people use their own arrogance and charm to catch their prey. Lot's and lot's of charm in the beginning.
I have met all three types of people in person. I really have. Sociopaths watch body language. Psychopaths could care a less about body language. It's like they don't have a central nervous system and they just seem to look through you, instead of at you. They really are creepy and you can't understand why. Narcissistic people lure the victim in with charm and then they trap you, just like a spider does to fly in it's web. They are very cruel to their victims over a long period of time.
-
Ted Bundy used his looks, education, charm and by sometimes using fake casts to seem harmless. He was a psychopath, meaning he was born evil.
-
Albert Fish used his old age to give the impression that he was just a harmless old grandfather type. He was a sociopath, meaning he was turned evil by his life experiences.
-
Frank Marcello, Professor of Dominican University uses his looks and power to manipulate the truth and to charm people. I call it, mirror refection bulls***. He will tell you whatever you want to hear to get his way. This man really has issues. If he didn't, he would have taken this to court by now, instead of having me stalked and watched by people in my neighborhood for well over two years.
I am sure that if you ever questioned any soldier, he would agree with me about the dangers of being arrogant in the battle field. I hate arrogance in all forms.
So, what I do when I meet Frank Marcello for the first time? I said to the Dr. Marcello, “you're a lawyer aren't you?” I had to say that! He proudly stated that he was, while standing in front of a room of all female students.
Ok, now I'm fascinated and I'm going to watch him, as if he was a bug that I just captured in a jar. Spiders were always my favorite to capture and watch when I was a little girl. They don't seem to have a central nervous system like I noticed about a psychopath that I met.
At this point, I could care a less what he has to say, I'm watching body language at this point. My first thought was, “how in the hell does he have time to teach day classes at a college four days a week and still have time to practice law?” I thought to myself, “how successful of a lawyer could he be if he supplements his income by teaching during courtroom hours?” I also thought to myself, “Hm, that's strange,”. Ok, I'm only five minutes into this class and I'm intrigued by this proverbial spider in a jar.
Well, he decides to make complete eye contact with me for the rest of the class. I'm thinking, “he is very confidant with putting the make on me in front of all of the other students.” I thought to myself, “Oh, that's not good”,.
I get a little uncomfortable and start thinking, “what the hell does he know, that I don't know?” He asked me out to a five hundred dollar diner, right there in front of everyone. I'm thinking, “I look like crap, (because I was so tired from the move) so why the hell is this man asking me out?” Then my second thought is, “ how the hell does someone act at a five hundred dollar diner?” That didn't sound like any fun. My final thought was, “why isn't he afraid of being reported?”
I'm not so intrigued by him anymore. I'm more nervous at this point. It's like the spider escaped from the jar and could bite me now and the fun is now over for me. He stood in front of class and bragged about himself and his accomplishments as any true narcissistic person would do. Narcissistic people are less of a physical threat then sociopaths and psychopaths, but very cruel in other ways none the less.
I'm not impressed, I'm getting turned off at this point, just adding to my nervousness. Then he mentions Richard Speck and said that he met him. Richard Speck is the drunken low life that got sh** faced drunk and killed all those nurses. I got very excited. You see, I had just moved back to my hometown where I was raped. I was secretly afraid for my life, although everyone said I would be safe. In the end, they were right, I was safe.
Ok, this game of watching the show-off lawyer was defiantly over for me. He noticed my excitement and then started telling me that his dad and his brother could not get along. His dad was a cop and owned a jewelry store and his brother was a Coke-head. Dr. Frank Marcello looks me straight in the face and starts telling me about his personal pain on this subject and how his dad had a conversation with his brother that night in the jewelry store moments before his dad shot his own son point blank.
This was getting too weird for me. I was beyond uncomfortable at this point. I leave at the end of class and put in a transfer to evening classes to avoid this man. I got to class early to put my transfer paper on his desk soon after this incident and then sat down. He comes into the classroom a few minutes later and reads the paper and signs it and walks over to me and went to hand it to me, but he wouldn't let go of the paper. I snatched the paper from his hand, because he was just to weird to deal with at this point.
I had Marcello's class the next quarter. I thought maybe he got the message that I wasn't interested and that would be the end of the subject. Well, Marcello offer's to buy me a house at this time. I'm thinking, “this guy just doesn't give up.” I sat as quite as a Church Mouse. I mean, I wasn't even impressed by it. It was just too weird. Let's think about this, “if he buys me a house, then he's my landlord expecting benefits.” I thought to myself, “hell no, because if I don't put out, I'll have to get out.” In the mean time, I'm the one paying the note on the deed. That would be a nice set up for him.
I completely avoided him for a year and three months after that. I finally took two of his classes September of 2007, because he was the only day time legal instructor and I had to finish my internship at the courthouse about a mile away from the college. That's when he would make threats. He said, "you'll never get a job in the legal field." I never did get a good references from Joe Pecko, at Northwestern College and I never became a paralegal, but I do have the bad debt from it. Since my EEOC complaint in early 2013, there has been a lot of retaliation from all the people involved. Mostly by offering people to come forward against me for money.
They could have easily taken me to court a long time ago, but they didn't. I mean this stalking and other bullsh** has been going on for two and a half years in my neighborhood. That should be your first clue as a consumer to stay away from Northwestern College and Frank Marcello.

As you read my Rip Off Report, you will see that I complained of stalking. Well, I blew the hell out of that stupid plan after it got to the point that I just couldn't let Frank Marcello and Joe Pecko control me like that anymore. I'll have proof of that later if the time comes.
You see, I use the Wi-Fi or hot-spot off of my daughters phone and when she isn't home and I'm not working, I will walk six blocks to the public library and sit outside and use their Wi-Fi. Mostly to check my emails.
I don't stay long maybe about 20 minutes. I'll send out my emails or check them and then just leave. Well, I was talking to an older lady the other day, I see her about four or five times a year. She's nice to talk too. Well, I feel that she could have been made an offer to come foward against me. Why not, everyone else has been, and I have the emails to prove it.
Anyway, the library people don't like me much anymore because they got involved in this stupidity soon after I got my letter of the right to sue, by EEOC. I have the emails to prove that I complained about it to Mr. Schumacher. I'll prove that later too.
I also have the emails to Donna Carroll of Dominican University, stating that it all started at the library and that it was concern, with no response from her. The emails address my concerns just like the emails with Mike McNamara, Retired Deputy Chief of Police. Except, I never went off on Donna Carroll.
Anyway, I have kept very good records of dates and times of when calls would have been made from the staff at the library to either Joe Pecko, Frank Marcello or Larry Schumacher.
Mr. Schumacher, you feel you can buy anyone. That's why you think that I am trying to be bought, that's your hang up and not mine. I'm not for sale and I never was, you might have bought your wife, after all you did give her a million dollar home and very nice job, but I'm not for sale and I never will be. I can very easily take a picture with hair, makeup and full picture with my figure showing and I think that I proved that I'm not stupid by now. So, to say that I'm so desprate to look for a man at the library is completely stupid.
You're last purchase was BBB, and you can't deny it. Go ahead and buy these people or have Marcello or Pecko cut a deal with them, but it won't do any of you a d**n bit of good. Marcello and Pecko had since March of 2013 to come forward with anyone they felt could help their case. Why has it taken so long guys?
So, if you have something to say, say it now, and if you have people that can back up your story then let's talk about it right now on Rip Off Report. I will not be watched and talked about behind my back and I refuse to look over my shoulder anymore.

When I first started my Rip Off Report, Frank Marcello chose to counteract by creating illusions of being fantastic, extraordinary, pleasing and noteworthy. That was posted on the internet for everyone to see. To me, he came across as being very narcissistic.
Ms. Carroll, you knew d**n well what has been going on between me, Northwestern College and Frank Marcello for over two years, and I have the emails to prove it. You have done nothing to address the issue. You have denied that this problem exists between me, your employee and Northwestern College and you have been reluctant to deal openly about the nature and extent of this problem.
Proving to me that you are just a self-rigthious hypercrite, just like all the priests that molested those children and the people in power that covered it up.

Outrage management in cases of sexual harassment as revealed in judicial decisions
SOURCE; www.bmartin.cc/pubs/10pwq
The outrage management model applied to sexual harassment
Gene Sharp, a central figure in research on nonviolent action, observed that when peaceful protesters are brutally assaulted, this action sometimes generates much greater support for the protesters from third parties. He called this process "political jiu-jitsu" in analogy with jiu-jitsu, a system of unarmed combat in which an opponent's energy is used against them (Sharp, 1973, p. 657). Martin (2007) observed that in many assaults the jiu-jitsu effect does not occur and, to explain this anomaly, analysed methods used by attackers to minimise adverse public reaction to their actions.
Examining a wide range of cases, he found that when powerful individuals or groups behave in a way that others might potentially perceive as unjust,
they are likely to use one or more of the following five types of tactics to dampen public outrage:
(a) cover up the action;
(b) devalue the target;
-
reinterpret the events by lying, minimising, framing or blaming;
(d) use official channels to give an appearance of justice; and
(e) intimidate or bribe people involved. When these methods fail, the action may be counterproductive for the perpetrators; in other words, it backfires.

June 2008, I graduated from Northwestern Business College with an Associate in Applied Science Degree, Major: Paralegal with a 3.67 GPA. From the campus located at 7725 South Harlem Ave, Bridgeview, IL 60455
The Applied Science Degree that I paid for has not performed at all for its intended purpose, and that is to improve the quality of my life, even when taking into consideration the recession. I now have $30,986.24 grand total pending payments in federal loans with Sallie Mae. That hang over my head.
Northwestern College employed Instructor and Attorney at Law, Frank Marcello and his supervisor Program Director, Attorney at Law, Joseph Pecko.
I was harassed by Mr. Marcello and when I complained to Mr. Pecko he did not even look into the matter. That is the real reason that I can not find employment in my field of study.
When I brought it to the attention of the President of Northwestern College, years later he did nothing to rectify the situation. On April 5, 2013 he found no fault with his personnel’s professional behavior. On April 10, 2013, EEOC did find fault with his employees’ behavior and gave me the right to sue because of it.
It has been my experience in dealing with Northwestern College, that reality will always be very different from my expectations, even when trying to stay nice and be positive.
I have made a lot of enemies because of my refusal to let this go and to submit to defeat. Even being offered the employment assistance by Northwestern College, I worry about retaliation in the future because of past experience, as the statements in my emails will show. Then, I would be back to square one again.
NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE CAN'T EVEN ADDRESS THIS THROUGH THE BBB AFTER 24 DAYS OF FILING A COMPLAINT!

LARRY SCHUMACHER RESPONDS TO THE
“GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT RULE”
SOURCE:http://www.zoominfo.com/p/Lawrence-Schumacher/24850261
“But when a bipartisan group of 118 Members of Congress urge the Education Department to re-evaluate ‘gainful employment’; when Members of the Congressional Black Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Caucus express concern over how the regulation would affect minorities; and when the department’s own inspector general opens a probe into whether Wall Street short-sellers were given undue access and influence, you know it’s time to take a step back and start over,” said Lawrence Schumacher, president of Northwestern College.
“Tragically, we have now reached a point in this process where real people with real desires to obtain college degrees will be effectively shut out of opportunities to gain the specialty training and skills necessary for an ever-competitive job market,” added Schumacher. “Instead of publishing this harmful, misguided rule, the ‘reset’ button needs to be hit, before real damage is done.”

Dear Mr. Schumacher,
It's Sunday morning and I felt like talking to someone. Sometimes when I think about the games that Pecko, Marcello and Polk played, I get mad. Not at you, because you would have never allowed them to do the stuff that they were doing. I see that now.
I wish that I would have told you what they were doing when I was a student,
but they had me intimidated to the point that I thought that you would have
never believed me becuase I was so out numbered, at least that's what they told
me. You can see that I really did try to avoid them when I was a student and
now you know why. I think how they placed such a stereo type on me. That couldn't be further from the truth of who I am. I raised two wonderful 'people' all by myself. I didn't have any room in my home for a man and his stupid option about how children should be raised. I was so content being a single mother and being the queen of my castle.
It was like I was living in a house of muppets when they were growing up and I liked it. They were so innocent, sweet and loveable. I can still remember the sounds of laugher in my home. I remember how on laundry day, I would have to check behind the couch cushions for dirty socks because they just didn't want to walk upstairs to put them in the dirty clothes when they were watching TV and how I would look for pop cycle sticks under the couch and loveseat on Saturday's when I cleaned house because they didn't want to get up and put them in the garbage.
I remember how they didn't like to come in to eat because they were having so much fun playing outside with their friends. I remember how they would go upstairs to the bathroom in pairs to protect each other for the monsters.
I remember how my son got stuck up in an old Oak tree, three stories high
in the preachers backyard and how I sent his sister up there to talk him down.
I remember one Christmas they had this great ideal to drink coffee, so that they could stay up and catch Santa. So, I made them a pot of coffee and giggled when they were coaching each other on how to hold their noses to drink that bitter stuff.
I liked the inocents of it all. I felt that a man would make an issue of my childern, just being childern. There was laughter, love, kindness and innocent's and my home was a safe place for all three of us. What I am trying to say is, I didn't need to own my own house to have a home. I was so loved when I was raising them, I really was. I never felt that I was missing anything by not having some man come in our home and pay our bills, boss my childern around and make me feel like a woman with his love.
I felt complete and I was content with the way we had things set up. Marcello would talk about how he was strict on Julie Polk's son, Michael. I remember how he said her son hated him. I rememeber how he yelled at her in public and she just stood there and let him humiliate her. I couldn't understand why she picked himover her son. Her son's love was the real love, yet she needed Marcello's love and approval.
That's really sad how some people put value on being a person. They think it's so importantto be seen by other people instead of looking in the mirror and liking who they see.
Mr. Schumacher, I was/am five feet two inches tall, I weight 100 pounds and my measurements are 32, 26, 33. I have bright green eyes, fair skin and freckles. I worked out real hard andI lived a very healthy life style. I had more trouble fighting jerks like Marcello and Pecko off then getting men like them.
They say, 'nothing in life is free.' Guys not only give sex away for free, sometimes they try to push it off on women. That's the truth. I have had plenty of battles with jerks like them since I became a single mom.
If Marcello would have mistreated my kids, all hell would have broke loose. Chances are I would have gotten real violant on his a*s and then went to jail. If I had to pick something up to fight, I would have. When it comes to my kids, I would fight the devil for them. I have no fear when it came to defending my kids, none!! There is no way in hell, I would have picked a man over my kids.
My kids went to their dad's every other weekend and that's when I would be a 'woman' if I felt like it, but I never went to bars and stuff to pick up men. I'm not a drinker, I don't like bars, I don't like drunks and it's just plain tacky!! I never had men come around my home when my kids where home. That's were McNamara comes into the picture.
Mike was my stud for over a year. That's true and I don't make any appologizes for it. He was a decent man that respected me and had my back and understood that I was only interested in raising my kids. There is something to say about a man that wins seven gold medals in Karata. But he felt the same way about me and my looks and it was all good.
He knew that it was important for me to raise my kids in a good, clean moral Christian home. That's one of the things he respected so much about me. Mr. Schumacher, he can say whatever he wants now, but there was a time that he would have faught any man for
my honor and that includes the men that worked under him at the police station and the police chief stepped back and let him.
I'm a good Christian woman, I raised two childern by myself for 16 years, I am far from ugly and I am as tough as I have to be when backed in a corner. But to say that I have been vainly searching for a man to love me, take care of me or give me nice things in life to no avail is stupid. My self esteem doesn't come from having sex with a man. I don't think after all this time of being single that I could do the 50/50 give and take in a marriage.
I am just too stuburn and independent after holding my own for 18 years.
I haven't been with a man sexually since 2006 because they just seem to repulse me now.
Honestly, I just want a career, and then maybe find some old fart that has some equity, you know like a nice Social Secrurity check and a house that's paid off and he's ready to die in a year. He doesn't have to be rich, just have a nice little nest egg.Trust me, he's not over at the library and I wasn't looking for a man at the library. I haven't even been looking for this dream man, because I've been too busy trying to get my career started.
Everyone is so interested in how I think and why I feel the way I feel. Well, there you go, that's
how I feel about men.
A recap: Men bug me for the most part. I have a lot of self respect. I want a career and it bugs the hell out of me that this is a mans world. I am pig headed, pretty and a good Christian. I have $30,000.00 in student loans and I am hell bent on getting my career going
If I ever do get married, I will treat my husband like a God, but I expect him to die ofold age in a year. Then after he dies and leaves me his goodies, then I will continue to workat my career hold firmly on my independence, then find another stud. He doesn't have to love me, just respect me and he want to travel around the world. (first stop, Vietnam)
Trust me, Marcello and Pecko are not my type of men. I avoided them because I didn't like them.They are both so phony and mean by nature and I just wasn't going to ruin my chances of a career by mixing business with personal stuff.

CONFRONTING JOE PECKO OF RETALIATION IN THE FORM OF BAD REFERENCES WHEN POSSIBLE EMPLOYEE'S WOULD CALL THE SCHOOL FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS
--- On Wed, 11/19/14,From: Subject: To: Date: Wednesday, November 19, 2014, 10:49 AM Mr. Pecko, I have directly confronted you on sexual harassment and retaliation against me after graduation. You do nothing about it to defend yourself.You could have taken me to court about this matter along time ago. You're a lawyer. Why do you continue to avoid this subject and hide like a little school girl instead of standing up like a real man. I know what your stupid little game is at this point in time. Six years post graduation you have recently been talking a lot of sh* about what you have been doing to me behind my back for the soul purpose so that I couldn't get work. You were the low life preventing me from employment by what you had to say about me behind my back because I didn't want to sleep with your ugly a**. If you feel so strong about it let's go to court and address all the issues in court. You’ll hide and do just what expect you to do. Go behind my back and talk sh** about me. Yeah, you'll give a good reference to get my foot in the door of some law firm to get your boss, Mr. Schumacherat Northwestern College off of your back and out of the mess he's in because BBB. But that is when the fun begins for you. I will be harassed so badly at my new job by the people there at your request to the point where I can't stay. Then everyone will say it was my fault and that I can’t get along with anyone. Well, I'm blowing the hell out of that stupid little plan right now, by confronting you on that bull* right now. Because at this stage of the game the story that I needed a man to take care of me because I can't find one, is as dumb as hell. Besides, If I wanted someone to drop hot wax on my a**, that is none of your or anyone else's f*** business. Do you understand that! Do you understand that, you big dumb arrogant, ugly as***. Yeah; you'll get my foot in the door, alright! But when sh** takes place at my new job like I say it will, I have every reason to go after your boss, Mr.Schumacher. By EEOC's standards my complaint about employment retaliation carry’s over to my next employer. Why the hell don't you stand up like a real man and face me? Because you are just a low life pervert that can't take no for an answer. If you don't like what I am saying then take me to court. You are so full of sh**. Does it hurt your pride that much to be rejected sexually, that you need to show your power overme? You are nothing but a coward. I am going to explain something to you. That is called retaliation and your boss in subject to punishment in the future because of it.
I WAS THEN SENT THIS MESSAGE FROM NORTHWESTERN COLLEGE AFTER I SENT THOSE EMAILS
Your email dated November 19, 2014 to jpecko@nc.edu did not reach Joe Pecko. He left Northwestern College several months ago.

I am very tired right now because I cleaned two houses today and maybe that is why I feel so upset about seeing Joseph Pecko's resume on the internet stating that he is still working at Northwestern College. People lie all the time and maybe he's lying and I am making an issue of this because I am so tired. Your staff emailed me in November of 2014 and stated that he left your school months before that date. Today, I am seeing that he is stating that he is currently an employee there. I am tired and confused and very concerned about this issue. I never had any reason to disregard what I was told in that email from your staff in November of 2014. I have even addressed the issue with you, proving that I believed he was gone. That proves that I didn't have any reason to disbelieve what I was told.

For the record, I wasn't crazy when I was paying the high tution at Northwestern College. If I were, then I couldn't have legally signed a binding contract with Northwestern College. So, they better not say I nuts. (that's funny)
Frank Marcello, Attorney at Law and Joe Pecko, Attorney at Law were both sent these emails in 11/29/2014. I told them that I was going to go public in the emails. Nobody did anything to stop me. Matter of fact, nobody responded, so I legally I have their permission to post this. (that's funny)
From: Date: 11/29/2013 7:36 AM (GMT-06:00) To: Cc: Subject: E-mail
This email is to inform you as I informed Frank Marcello, that I have reason to believe that again you and Marcello are attacking my character behind my back. In an attempt to save your reputations. Because of the sexual harassment that I was subjected to by you and Marcello when I attended NC. I have reason to believe that you are offering jobs and / or money to people save your reputations for what you did to me. As I told Marcello via email, I am telling you. I have every intention to fight you like a pit bull. You will not like the publicity that it brings to you. NC, or Marcello. You, Marcello and NC have had the chance to take me to court for slander because all my attacks have been out in the open and I can prove you were aware of what and why I was attacking you. If you think that you can have other people come forward while these people receive jobs or money, I have every intention to make it very public.
I sent this email to Mike McNamara over a year ago and because he chose not to do anything to stop me or even deter me, I legally had his permission to use it for this site too. If I'm crazy, well then I can't legally be held accountable for my behavior, because I don't know right from wrong. (that's funny)
I learned this stuff in Marcello and Pecko's classes. (that's funny too)

I know that Desiree Tunstall is your long time girlfriend and that she earns $71,0000.00 a year. I downloaded the web site so you have that going for your argument. You can say that you don't need the money bad enough to act like a friend to a poor single mom for donations to licensed for life. But to erase my statement about what you did to me you have to produce medical records proving in fact you don't have herpes. And produce phone records from your two phones showing you did not have contact with Northwestern College, Schumacher, Pecko or Marcello for a time period that we were in fact emailing and you were acting like a supportive friend. In order to have my blog erased for slander.Phone records and medical records. The only other option is leave it up for ever one to see or pay me to take it down.

Subject: RE:
In Illinois law, all employers must take all reasonable steps to prevent future retaliation for a person speaking up on the matter harassment and protecting the employees or students and in my case, that means going to school to seek future employment and that EEOC also feels are obligated to be protected.
If I am fabricating such allegations then that would be a direct lie and is actionable in court as slander by the accused, whom are both lawyers that chose not to defend themselves against me in the past with a legal remedy. Why? If I'm a liar, then take me to court and prove it. It shouldn't be hard for them.
In my case, it would be defamation against the accused, because all my interactions with the harassers and executives enrolled was in fact in writing by e-mail for a period of more than a year. All they would have to do is prove defamation.
It wouldn't be unique for a person in my position to lie. A female that is unemployed in a bad economy. But, BBB is now involved. So, there is now an obligation on both sides to find a remedy to this long standing problem. There is no protection in place to prevent retaliation in the future. That is my fear. I will find work now. Will I keep it?
Am I conjuring up sexual harassment? Is there a chance of future retaliation? Is this just retaliation because of my inability to get employment in six years post graduation because of a bad economy, or substandard performance in applying for work? Such as resume, cover letters or interviewing skills? We are talking about six years that have past.
Is it unreasonable for me to believe that there will be no reasonable steps to prevent future retaliation, post employment from these men? After all, the accused are still considered innocent by the executives, when it comes to their actions, career and/or public-reputation.
School transcripts will prove that I graduated in 2008 with a 3.67 GPA, with Associates in an Applied Science Degree: Major, Paralegal. So, therefore it can not be underperformance or substandard performance reviews as far as my work goes. Because those are documented facts. You put the work in front of me, I do it very well.
Or are there negative reviews on my character over these past years, "She's a s**t." Is this one of the most common conspiracies used to cover up the sexual harassment by the defendants? That is a logical conclusion for me to come to in a case like this. What else could it be?
Even if I were a "s**t", (which I am not) it is still viewed as sexual harassment, if that gossip prevented me from employment for six years. I have all my e-mail as evidence. Showing that I wanted a legal remedy taken to prevent future retaliation and none was offered. I was not treated as an equal. It's pretty sad, if you see how hard I tried to be heard and the e-mail to the executives prove it.
In this case, I'm alleging, "this for that." The instructors were asking for sex and dates from me in order for me to gain employment after graduation. That is why I am in this situation. Not because I'm stupid or unprofessional.
It is now my burden to prove that the legal instructors, Joe Pecko and Frank Marcello first made unwanted sexual advances. Then prove that employment after graduation in my field of study was conditioned on acceptance of those sexual advances.
I will not prove that fact with what they did as evidence, but what they chose not to do. They both have chosen not to address this very serious matter in court. I requested this many, many times over a long period of time e-mail's to executives to prove it.
Out of fairness to the executives that the e-mail's are addressed to, I have to argue that it is common for people to allege that an employee of theirs made a concrete sexual advance, with a clear "or else" condition attached to it, when in fact they were just acting like jerks.
Why isn't it strange to the executives that these men would still run away from the matter? I have e-mail's proving I was writing a lot and that someone should have done something and nothing has changed.
From an evidence standpoint, my attached e-mail and all relevant documents will in fact tell the real story. The complete story.
I don't expect anything other than a false compassion from all parties involved at this point. But, I don't want compassion, as if I am a child or a person of a lower value. I never did. I am an equal to each and every one of the people involved because of the civil rights that I was born with as an American.
I want to be addressed and treated as an equal to prevent future retaliation. They should know that, with all of their education and power. It's time to address this issue properly, so that I do not worry about retaliation in the future, when I do gain employment.
It is not an unfair request.
THEN I SENT THIS EMAIL TO JOE PECKO BECAUSE I WAS MAD.

February of 2013, four years post graduation; I filed a complaint by email and insisted the whole investigation be done by email and I was addressing sexual harassment and retaliation directed against me by Frank Marcello, Former Legal Instructor and Joseph Pecko.
On March 14, 2013, Northwestern College’s HR department emailed me and stated that they found no fault with the personnel’s professional behavior while I was a student and closed the investigation.

I went to Northwestern College and paid Schumacher $45,000.00 for a associates degree and I earned a 3.67 GPA. I am now stuck with $30,000.00 in student loans and no job in my field of study.
In Larry Schumachers uncanny way to twist things around, he had his employee, Amy Bouscio, the Career Development and Alumni Relations Coordinator from Northwestern College inform me to direct all of my concerns to her.
Get this, she writes, "they were so happy to be of assistance in my job search." I have been using that stupid, 'Career Placement Service' for over a year and I still don't have a job. So, I don't know what the hell they're talking about.
Since when are consumer complaints addressed by a career development coordinator? I had a business agreement with Schumacher. I paid Schumacher. My concerns were rightfully directed to him.
His response pissed me off beyond belief and so I directly contacted him and his attorney by email and confronted them both on his shitty approach to the situation. I'm not happy. Yeh, they're happy because they're $45,000.00 richer because of me.
I am not going to let him play this off as if he's 'accommodating' a perceived problem-child with his phony cooperative gestures and letting me use his stupid Career Placement Service, just to turn around and advertise on the internet that all BBB complaints have had a successful ending, because that's a bunch of bull*.

BBB Gets involved
AUTHOR: - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 02, 2015
My complaint was received by the Better Business Bureau on May 17, 2014. It was against Northwestern College at 7725 S Harlem Ave Bridgeview, IL 60455-1318 I have copied and pasted Northwestern College's bull%^&* response to my complaint for you to see for yourself how they lie and cheat people out of their money. They didn't say this bull%^&* when they were recruiting me as a student and they won't say it to you either. Now they have my $45,000.00 and they could care a less about what happens to me. I'm a 3.67 GPA graduate. Contact Name and Title: ******Contact Phone: *******Contact Email: ******** Ms. ***** is a graduate of Northwestern College's Paralegal Program. The College has various mechanisms in place to assist graduates in finding employment including a department of Career Services which is dedicated to this effort. It is my understanding Ms. ***** has not utilized the services of this department to assist with her job search. Of course there are many factors that contribute to a person's ability to secure employment including the overall economic climate, the candidates resume, experience, presentation and response to questions during the interview, etc. None-the-less, Northwestern College nor any other post-secondary institution guarantees employment after graduation. We invite and encourage Ms. ***** to reach out to our Department of Career Development for assistance with her job search. They are also stating on the internet that all BBB complaints are resolved. That's a lie and I'm proof of that. I don't have a job, even after a year of trying to stay positive and being nice to these people and using this stupid service. I have had only three interviews and two of them was with the same law firm and the only reason that I didn't get that one was because I didn't have a car to file their motions in court. The other offer was with Robert Half Legal for $9.00 an hour and I declined because I earn more than that now. Those were my big offers with their help. I owe $178.00 a month in student loans and I owe $30,000.00. The truth, Joe Pecko, Program Director at Northwestern College couldn't give me bad references when employer's called anymore because BBB was on the case. I have copied and pasted the email exchanges with the bull%^&* “Career Placement Service” for your review. She couldn't get anything right. She even sent my resume back to me with typo's, when there wasn't any typo's on it when I sent it to her. She couldn't even get something as simple as my email address correct.

I noticed that references is messed up on the resume. If I try to fix it on what I have available, which is Quick Office, it will mess everything on the resume up. I will register on the websites tonight. So, what should we do about the externship that I did? Leave it off? It's a good reference but I really didn't do much. Have a nice weekend.

I thought you understood that it needed to be changed.on the resume when I said my email address is ******oreen@yahoo.com when you were making corrections because I explained I couldnt make corections with Quick Office. I will to go to the library and fix that with their Word and then save it to their desktop and download it on all the sights again and then make new drafts with it attached. I can't do it with my Nook. Please send all job leads to *******oreen@yahoo.com also.
