"Screwing People"

Why a required course for all employees at AI in crisis management?
It tells me that EDMC is covering itself because AI has admitted so many students with psychological or behavioral problems. They truly have hit bottom in the pursuit of profits. Now they are creating a disaster-in-waiting for faculty, staff and... — read more

Maybe someone can explain the reason we have admission reps on the floor over here making triple digit income for years doing the same thing other reps are doing but most others barely make 40K. This is not about seniority! There are those who have... — read more

SUO PGH IN TROUBLE
With all the veterans taking caps and leaving voluntarily there's serious stress amongst managers. Top reps leave = team doesnt hot plan = remaining reps on team get DMs. Is anybody else worried?
AiPH, Who are these guys walking around?
There are people walking around measuring and taking notes. Does anyone know what's they are doing here?
Strange
Any one have a clue why severance package was taxed 35%? Seems like the final screwing they can hand out.
Serious Question
Why have EDMC employees never unionized? Seems like the only good option to combat the poor work environment here.
Your Psychology Department is Staffed by Frauds
You have an adjunct professor Laverne Boone of Fuitland , Maryland who claims not only to have a PHD but also to have been licensed for 23 years. None of it is true So how many other frauds does your diploma mill employ?
(Lack of) Leadership
This is what most in the EDMC corporate structure lack, especially in Brown Mackie (examples included): Paraphrased from Inc. - Great leaders. Those who can/will leave the world better than they found it. They look out for the interests and... — read more

Brandolini's Law
I think I have discovered why a lot of people have stopped posting lately. It may have a lot to do with this simple explanation: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than the effort to produce it."
SUO PGH, CAP City...buy out frenzy
For those of you that haven't noticed, SUO PGH has been letting the buy out dollars fly. It's only Wednesday and 10 AR's have received CAP's and taken but outs. What is happening here? I see AM's interviewing like crazy. If you are an AR making over... — read more
AUO ready to go!!!!!
After some fantastic training AUO is now primed and ready to be the best online university. Our leaders are fantastic. I am so excited! You all should be too!
Wouldn't this be the week that the reach out campuses give 60 day notices before October start?
Any updates on when notices will be given.
Corporate Greed
Posts seem to be slowing down on this website. I think people are just getting tired of the same old dribble. Let's face it EDMC will be in business as long as their high priced attorneys can keep them in business. Can anyone even begin to estimate... — read more

Here is an interesting contrast between the NFL and EDMC. The excerpt is from an article regarding the Patriots and their issue with the NFL and I've only posted a portion of the piece that I think is relevant to this company. "Friday's emails aren't... — read more
Lawsuits being filed and some settled. EDMC/The Art Institute lied about career placement and continues horrible admissions tactics.

How's it going at other teach-out schools?

Question about next round of layoffs
So, I am a faculty and I didn't take the voluntary separation back in June. I am regretting the decision. Do you think they will offer to volunteer again in September or was this a one time event?
nothing will humble them
It's depressing that we as lowly employees understand more of what's going on than the people making the decisions. On the last round of layoffs they let go almost everyone who understood a certain process (pre-cert) and now there are thousands of... — read more

I'd say you lazy worthless criminals are about to have more layoffs--aaaahhhhh tooooo baaad!
The "separation agreements" and budget cuts show how little management know about their schools! Money wasted on PR events, open houses,
Launching non-Credit classes and some worthless employees. The lack of any focus on the quality of the product - the education- will be the nail in the coffin for edmc. Just when I think things can't get worse..
Why??????????
Given the financial condition of EMDC, it begs the question: why would anyone enroll in any of their schools? Is it just a question of not knowing you are buying a pig-in-a-poke. I don't understand it. Can anyone cogently explain this?
