2U sounds like a future Netflix series

With all these stories coming out about 2U past and present, is anyone writing a book or screenplay? Who would play Chip? Who would play John Katzman? Who would play Cathie Wood? Who would play the folks at Trilogy and edX? Who would play the... — read more

Selling certificates for jobs that aren't there?

Even when people are completing their "elite" certificates and degrees, is this creating another layer of the educated underclass and burying them in debt? https://www.wired.com/story/tech-jobs-layoffs-hiring/

For most of us it only took that one “thing” that opened our eyes to the he-l that place is. What was your thing?

The Truth about shady admission practices at 2U

As an admissions counselor for 2u, I can tell you that we never ever took on the decision for the school to admit, or not admit. That was totally on the school. I can tell you that it is definitely a sales job. We were told that from day one. We are... — read more

Temperament of a Petulant Teenager

His attitude and response to any ideas that don't align to his own is off the charts! That has been apparent for quite some time. What is equally mind boggling is that these investors and the board seem to pick up his pacifier from the ground, plop... — read more

Unionizing

want to start looking into unionizing to help advocate for us. It’s clear we need to organize ourselves to protect us from the bad decisions being made. We deserve to be treated much better than we have been recently.

ON PLANET EARTH

Chip used this term 4 times during the all company call. His inflated sense of ego is baffling and nauseating. Must be nice to be a white straight man! Also using the terms “schizophrenic” and “bipolar” as a joke? He can get fu---d.

He should have kept it at 15 minutes. This is pathetic and let me not comment on the mental health illness jokes in the beginning. You continue to show us who you really are and that’s the only thank you, you deserve Chip. Vomit!

Who Cares about the Global Forum, Not Me!

I was a fool to believe in 2U
