It's probably going to sting a little bit. However, Betsy may save the day.
EDMC selling Argosy, South and Art Institutes
Imminent sale to Dream Center
Here's another group for you EDMC haters to complain about- your government !
Sallie Mae has long drawn the ire of student loan borrowers struggling to pay back their debt. But as it turns out, they might have had a real reason to complain. http://money.cnn.com/2017/01/18/pf/college/navient-sallie-mae-sued-cfpb/index.html

Art Institute of Tennessee named a Victory Media "Military Friendly School"
The Art Institute of Tennessee has been named a Victory Media "Military Friendly School" for 2017, despite being on SACS probation. I wonder how much EDMC paid for the designation... — read more
John Lewis: "You have a moral obligation not to be quiet"
EDMC continues to target low information consumers. Is there anyone else who is willing to blow the whistle? Harvard Legal Clinic is asking for documents. Can you tell them where to look?
SUO PGH - finally gonna tell us?
The only thing my AM does when she isn't giving me the same lame a-- coaching tips is whine and complain to those that will listen. All day every day I hear her complain about reporting to Traci. Today she made mention of a mandatory Manager only... — read more

Understanding EDMC in 2017
If you have never seen Barbarians at the Gate, it is still a good example of what EDMC is dealing with. Your "owner" is portrayed by Jonathan Pryce. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPhF_YwWvoM&list=PLvPyfFf32Kbtv74igvT0pdEuk2qdUuIJ1
Gainful Employment Numbers are Disastrously Bad
So many EDMC programs failing at so many campuses and different brands. Sayonara! https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/about/data-center/school/ge
Top Ten Ways to attract more students to the campus (we might as well have fun if the ship goes down)
Thursdays: School Wide Happy hour at a local pub Discontinue the incoming student kits & just hand out Kindles to all new students Replace student store with a actual study cafe with donuts and cookies (it would be more profitable than the student... — read more
South Universh!t!y WPB
Open house, Closed house. Soon enough.
South still not posting AM positions
What is going on here? How many of us are going to be let go?
Hysterical
Aaaaw. Someone ruffle your feathers! To bad...so 😭!
What is going on at South?
1/2 the teams are sitting single digits for the start and there is no sign of leadership in place or even in the building for that matter. Are they cutting all Managers and making them reinterview? I like collecting these fat paychecks for s---ering... — read more
SUO Christmas Party
I missed the SUO Christmas Party. Did anything exciting happen?
Respect....
to whoever came up with this brilliant scam. Students not ready for college but they get ca$h. Teachers not to good but good enough and gettin paid. CEos and corporate types scoring bank. Happy new years lets keep it going in 17!!!
But most importantly.......
Is SUO having a Christmas party and frizzy robes lieing to everyone's face that everything is fine?
TEACH OUT schools
What happens when there are only 20 or fewer students at the Teach Out schools? Force them to go online until they graduate? It can't possibly be profitable at a certain point.
EDMC stock looks like it flat lined! LMFAO
Just for fun I googled their stock and the line chart literally looks like it flat lined. A visual predictor of the future? A karma reaction from the universe? End of times coming true? Or just really sh--ty management, you be the judge. Google EDMC... — read more
Is it staying open?
Hey guys, I teach in online and I am worried when seeing all of this. Is the college going to shut down because the enrollment is lower. Can we come up with some idea here to get it higher? what would we need to get more students to keep our jobs?... — read more
Sh--s hitting the fan
What AMs and CDs stepped down at south and who will be dumb enough to apply for the positions? Also, who do you think is responsible for all of Management and CDs to leave or step down? I have a strong idea, but curious what you all think.
Is being a leader at SUO that bad?
I thought these guys made big salaries? Why are they quitting monthly? My campus had its CD resign yesterday, was down 2 AM's and my AM quit today. That's 4 positions. Where the hell are we going here? What does this role pay? WHY DO THEY ALL QUIT?
AUO
What is happening at AUO? Clearly you can't post anything negative about managers on here or it will get taken down. But to reiterate 250 dials a day what a joke. Doesn't matter if you are hitting your goals we are going to make your job more... — read more
Another Death Blow to AI (ACICS SCHOOLS)

Who wil be the next SUO PGH CD?
With Vic leaving SUO at the end of the year who will take over as CD? Easy and logical choice would have been Paul C since the only thing he's on top of more than what's happening is his boss, AR's and AC but he's also definitely gone Jan 2 for... — read more
