I was just thumbing through the staff roster and a couple of questions come to mind.

Brian Alano- Student Criminal Justice - Eastern Michigan University,

What does Student Criminal Justice mean? It doesnt show any kind of degree earned, does that mean he never got one? Further why would someone with a backround in criminal justice be an assistiant dean at a theraputic boarding school?

Theresa Allen
LPN, Dispensary

That's all it says. Where did she go to school? Considering HLA's willingness to accept diploma mill degrees shouldnt the parents know the staff is qualified?

Jim Brock
Accountant

B.S. Brenau University, Gainesville, Georgia Plants, food and antiques are exciting.

Brenau is a womans college, it does offer programs to men-through its online degrees. Im sure he's qualified. Maybe they wanted someone who wouldnt notice the books being cooked.


Ed Clark
Counselor

B.S. Criminal Justice, National University, San Diego, California. Hobbies: Reading and the Martial Arts
 
Again what does Criminal Justice have to do with a theraputic boarding school and how is this guy qualified? Not that his degree matters-again an online university.

Good God people this is only in the "C"'s and look how many issues have come up.

Wake up Parents!

Clay Erickson
Director of Addiction Services

B.A. - Pacific Southern University. M.A. ? Antioch University


How interesting Doctor Erikson is no longer listed as a Doctor.

Why would that be?

There's a whole topic on the subject of Erickson:

Just to defend one of the staff there that is actually nice, Brian Alano is an Assistant Counselor and also in charge of Dorm B (the older boys dorm).  I don't know what the requirements should be to hold the position of "Assistant Counselor," but him and a few other AC's helped me out while I was there a hell of a lot more than my peer group counselors.

yeah Alano doesnt really serve in any therapuetic function, so the term assistant counselor in that case is rather misleading, but for the most part he is (or was when i was there anyway) a pretty decent guy who tried to do a few things to make life somehat more tolerable there.  Of course he, like all of the other staff, is guilty of not reporting obvious abuses and problems at HLA.

Let me preface this by saying that I am one that occasionally defends HLA on this site...

The irony of the "Brian is a pretty nice guy"  posts is that I personally witnessed Brian cursing students out and being completely unfair to them.  I guess it all depends on what you personally witnessed.

Brian Alano is listed as the Asst. Dean of Students-not as an AC.

So HLA defender what do you have to say about the state of current events?

that's a sad but true statement. i went to wilderness 4 times and had so much incomplete work, but I had As, Bs and Cs. They make students make-up the work they missed, but sometimes it's a ridiculous amount. I was sent to wilderness almost every semester, so I was way behind. I still passed all my classes.

It is my understanding, that your school work goes with you to
Ridge Creek...That is what HLA has told ORS in the past....

This is something that started about a year and a half ago to two years ago.  HLA put a teacher out there and started sending them their school work.  As with many things at HLA, sometimes this worked very well and other times it fell through the cracks and didn't happen the way it should.  But, yes, it is policy that kids do school work at Ridge Creek.
