Is the school really closed?

[edit]

I was greatly surprised to read here on Wikipedia that CIE has permanently closed! So I tried to verify it, and all I could find is that the CIE bookstore has closed:

[1]https://www.ciebookstore.com/

What proof do we have that the entire school is permanently closed? I don't see any announcements on the CIE website or Facebook page. fwchapman (talk) 23:02, 14 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't closed. I'm a current student at CIE and am still taking exams. SimpsonDG (talk) 21:02, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Astromatt1 is doubling down on his claims that CIE is closed by reverting my edits, yet he provides no source to back his claims. I'm a current CIE student. I've received no notification of CIE closure by mail or e-mail, there's no such notice on the CIE Web site, CIE is continuing to grade my exams, and the CIE Web site appears to be continuing to accept registration of new students.
I decided to try to get to the bottom of all this and contacted the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools. They tell me that CIE abruptly closed on 9/30/22. I never received any notification about that in the mail, and there's no announcement on their Web site. SimpsonDG (talk) 20:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Institution is closed, but no RS reported it

[edit]

I am having a bizarre time trying to find information on this institution. There are a lot of indications that the school is closed permanently, but the only RS I can find are reports of commercial real estate transactions in business publications that show no indication of a closure. This is out of the ordinary, because, in my experience, most closed/closing institutions receive at least one article in RS (even those that don't have articles, like Federico College in Fresno, California, which unexpectedly closed this year)

The only two articles about the college are:

  • Bullard, Stan (October 1, 2024). "Playhouse Square inches north with $1.6 million building purchase". Crain's Cleveland Business. Retrieved December 30, 2024.
  • Smith, Kevin (July 5, 2022). "Cleveland Institute of Electronics building sold for $640,000 to TPI Efficiency". Cleveland Business Journal. Archived from the original on December 30, 2024. Retrieved December 30, 2024.

The only reference to the institution in the Crain's article states that it was "home to" the college until 2022, the year of closure. The Cleveland Business Journal article reports the institution as still open (which would make sense, since the article was published Jul. 2022 and the college supposedly closed Sep. 2022.)

http://www.cie-wc.edu, the college's website, is dead and no longer serving traffic, as would be expected of a closed college.

The college is listed as "permanently closed" on Google Maps.

The user who initially reported the closure was Astromatt1 (talk · contribs). SimpsonDG (talk · contribs) promptly reverted Astromatt1, claiming that the college was still open. They then went on a bit of a back-and-forth on Astromatt1's talk page, where Astromatt1 claimed "I am a student there and received a letter in October stating that they closed on September 30, 2022. I called to confirm and the number will not connect," while SimpsonDG claimed "I'm a current student there, and I'm still taking exams and receiving materials from them. Only the bookstore has been closed."

There is also a discussion above where SimpsonDG claims "I decided to try to get to the bottom of all this and contacted the Ohio State Board of Career Colleges and Schools. They tell me that CIE abruptly closed on 9/30/22."

I am going to refer both users to this discussion if there's anything more concrete that they can share. wizzito | say hello! 01:25, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't use it myself so I'm not at all familiar with it but the U.S. Department of Education maintains a list of closed institutions that is updated weekly. This institution doesn't appear to in that list so this source doesn't seem to provide us with much help. I also don't see the institution in IPEDS so it's possible that it never sought or received federal funding and thus was never in the Department of Education's databases.

Aren't institutions removed from IPEDS when they close? wizzito | say hello! 06:32, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
