Darin Giedd - Used Car Salesman Extraordinaire

This clown just can't get it right. Not only that, but Capella's Sleaze Team (Capella Stella Fey Epling and Sir Chrisy the Sissy L'Orange) seem to enjoy throwing endless reams of paper at the court. In the case of Darin Giedd, he managed to submit a nearly identical declaration to the court on two different occasions - three months apart! Gosh, what are Capella Stella and Sir Chrisy the Sissy up to? Guess they must be running out of nonsense to vomit so now they're recycling! (Hey, Sir Chrisy the Sissy, isn't that against the policy of toxic waste lovers?)!

So, for our readers' viewing pleasure, we're providing both of Darin Giedd's declarations:

1. The first declaration was signed but not dated, Oct 2005. (Click here for Adobe .pdf file of the first declaration.)
2. The second declaration was dated, January 31, 2006. (Note, Capella Stella and Sissy Chrisy have a lot of problems getting things right the first - heck, even the second time)! (Click here for Adobe .pdf file of the second declaration.)

Darin Giedd Botches His First Attempt!

In addition to the text version provided below, you may also view a copy of Darin Geidd's second official declaration for your reading pleasure (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)!

The following contains the complete text of the declaration that Darin Geidd submitted on behalf of his employer, Capella University. The only thing we've added are comments and links to appropriate sources to clarify the facts, demonstrate the truth, or to substantiate lies.

I, Darin Giedd, declare as follows:

1. I am an Enrollment Director with the School of Undergraduate Studies at Capella University (“Capella”), defendant and counterclaimant herein. I make this declaration in support of Capella’s position to Plaintiff’s Motion to Strike Capella’s Counterclaim.

2. I make these statements of my own personal knowledge, and if called, could and would testify competently thereto.

3. I am familiar Plaintiff’s websites — www.capellauniversity.org, and ww.capellasucks.com. Those sites have pages and sections dedicated to making disparaging and untrue statements about Capella [sic]

4. On September 16, 2005, I answered a call from an individual identifying himself as David [name redacted] Mr. [name redacted] was interested in enrolling at Capella. Mr. [name redacted] completed his application and Capella received his transcripts from his previous school. He was accepted on September 22, 005, for the fall term starting October 1, 2005. His application for Financial Aid was processed and he was fully prepared to enter at the beginning of the fall term.

5. In my experience, individuals who complete the application process this quickly are enthusiastic about coming to Capella and it is rare that they would not matriculate on schedule.

6. On September 27, 2005, I received an e-mail from Mr. [name redacted] stating that he was withdrawing his application after doing “some research about Capella”. A copy of this e-mail is attached to this Declaration.

7. I followed up this e-mail with a telephone call to Mr. [name redacted] to inquire about the results of his research that would cause him to withdraw.

8. Mr. [name redacted] stated to me that he was withdrawing due to his concern about allegations made by Mr. LaMarca [sic] and about the Lamarca [sic] lawsuit.

9. In spite of efforts to reassure Mr. [name redacted] , he chose not to enroll at Capella and is not a student at Capella as of this date.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed this day ___ of October, [sic] 2005, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Darin Giedd Declaration # 2 (or was that # 1)?

While not exactly the same (perhaps Capella Stella and Chrisy the Sissy thought they could pull the wool over the court's eyes), Darin Giedd tried again.

In addition to the text version, provided below, you may also view a copy of Darin Geidd's second official declaration for your reading pleasure (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)!

Because Capella is a distance learning school and our student body is geographically diverse, my contacts were uniformly by telephone or email.

8. In spite of my efforts to reassure him, Mr. [name redacted] chose not to enroll at Capella and he is not a student as of this date.
9. Had Mr. [name redacted] had enrolled at Capella, the total cost of his program would have been $46,000 depending upon how quickly he chose to complete the coursework. Quarterly tuition in the School of Undergraduate Studies is $3,480 if enrolled full time.
