'''Finding.''' Per the tracker's evidence and according to Student L, the NOLA campus taught a milestone based curriculum but tested students on Elsevier and HESI content, without telling students or providing the correct textbooks, and nothing taught correlated with the HESI exams.

'''Evidence.''' Facebook comment thread (April 27, 2026), Student L: the campus went through a restructure, taught one curriculum meant to be milestone based, then tested on Elsevier and HESI, which would have been fine if students had been told and given the correct books, but they were not, and nothing taught correlated with the HESI exams.

'''Reported statement.''' According to the tracker, Student L said the campus taught one curriculum, supposed to be milestone based, then tested students on Elsevier and HESI content, which would have been fine if students had been told and given the correct books, but they were not.

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 4: curriculum and examination content must be aligned and clearly communicated, and students must be provided appropriate preparation materials. Lead: {{HU|HU-062}}. Compare {{HU|HU-044}} (Sherpath teaching incorrect content).

'''Impact.''' Students taught one curriculum but examined on another, without the right materials, were set up to underperform on HESI through institutional misalignment rather than lack of effort.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-062}} (lead). Split 2026-06-06. Reported by Student L (former Herzing NOLA student), documented by the reporting student.
