Buy SPH photosThe sole manager of a private college here has pleaded guilty to failing to repay students' course fees amounting to about $190,000 when the classes they had signed up for were not conducted.
Process College manager Duclos Hazel Margaret, 64, pleaded guilty yesterday to the above charge, and a second charge of failing to keep proper records for the 30 students who had been enrolled in the Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality (CTH) Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Hotel Management programmes that the college offered.
A third charge, of failing to obtain permission from the Council for Private Education (CPE) before changing its registered premise, will be taken into consideration when she is sentenced on Dec 27.
The charges were brought earlier in June this year by the CPE, which oversees the private education industry, acting on student complaints that Duclos did not make good on her promise to refund the students in instalments.

This after they dramatically stormed out of the Subordinate Courts on Tuesday and decided not to attend the remainder of the inquiry. The dramatic turn of events happened after their application to postpone a witness' testimony was denied by the State Coroner that same afternoon. On Wednesday morning, the inquiry had started without the family's presence, after lawyers for the family told the court that they had been discharged and would no longer participate in the rest of the inquiry. Mr Rick Todd and his wife Mary, told The Straits Times at Changi Airport before they left that they felt there was no point in staying.
