When a student calls in with questions about school, DONT ANSWER THEM!!!! Ignore the question and ask them a question to reveal all the problems they have had. The magic formula is at 12 minute 4 second mark of the call, you can answer questions... — read more
12th week layoffs?
I keep hearing about 12th week layoffs, does anyone know anything about this? Is it faculty, staff, programs? Somebody has to know. Did the person who posted the list get fired? It seems like there used to be good layoff info on this site but now... — read more
Auo
So much talk about AUO lately. Usually we just read about SUO's Cinemax movie. What's going on over at AUO. Seems like a lot of disgruntled people.
STUDENTS! Get your loans forgiven!
AI is a SCAM. Do not allow them to take ANY more of your $$. They are not reinvesting it back into your education and are pocketing your future! Protest! Demand a Refund!! Demand Student Loan Forgiveness!
Another solution for AUO to get better
Get rid of most if not all managers in all departments and start over. They all blow monkey balls. Mr. GVP, We have now given you a few solutions to fix AUO. Free of charges
gainful employment - what will it do to EDMC? GO!
Will this end for-profit schools around US?
Solution to solve all of AUO's problems!!
This will solve all of AUO's problems. The Campus Directors, N Walk, Ralpie and GVP should come out of their meetings and walk up and down the aisles. I have no doubt, them walking up in down the aisles with stink face will fix everything!!!!!
Drinking the Koolaid
As for some of you who claim any time someone agrees with the way things are as "drinking the koolaid," you need to grow up. For the first time since I started working at AUO in Pittsburgh, I can take pride in what I do for students and know that I... — read more

It seems bad at AUO
What the f*** is going on. Management seems to be highly stressed. Directors seem pissed. Gavlik walks around ALL day and watches. Worst environment I have ever worked in. Damn. Any insight?
Why would anyone go to the Art Institutes?
Robert DeNiro recently told NYU film school grads that they were fu**ed. So why would people continue to sign up for the Art Institutes?.................. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/college-choice-rational-dahn-shaulis
No more pre-qualifying questions. Get to know these students damn it!
Hey you know how you were successful at your job? Well stop that. Time to bore the shit out of potential students and have them be exhausted by the time you suggest they apply. Why this change? How will it impact new students? What are the hard... — read more

EDMC in the News.. I find it funny they can't find any info to update
Just took a quick look at EDMC website, the section "EDMC in the News"/ Press Release.... nothing has been updated since Oct of 2013. (17 months) I guess they can't find anything worthy to promote or there not enough people there to update the list.
New SUO Team gets its leader. Nursing will never be the same.
The highly coveted, yet to be filled 2nd NP team at SUO PGH will finally have its leader named. AR's who inquired are now being given confirmation of their role. Shockingly an AM from a different campus will be joining the office banger and his... — read more

New Wellness Initative
Elevator's broke. Waddle your fat ass down the steps for your 15 smoke breaks.
EDMC schools pledge support for students and employees in the national guard.
Squeezing every dollar they can from anyone. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/education-management-corporation-schools-pledge-support-for-students-and-employees-in-the-national-guard
What's your plan of action?
Option A: Hold out for severance Option B: Jump ship Option C: Ride the sinking ship and collect your paycheck.
This just in! AUO is doing really well.
Overheard my manager today talking about how well AUO is doing. That it's doing way better than AIO and SUO. I am not surprised. Great AR's, great managers, best CD's and an amazing GVP.
In regards to the SUO PGH bubble that is about to break...
The time is getting near. Looks like a certain CD that can't keep his willy away from his AR's may be FINALLY going down. I'm not in the building anymore but my very reliable source confirms that someone from corporate HR was in the bldng yesterday... — read more
A public relations memo about to be released?
As part of our continuing effort to align EDMC’s organization with the realities of for-profit education, we announce an exciting new chapter in retail education: Art Institutes Premium Outlets! At locations in Allen, TX; Hagerstown, MD; Birch Run... — read more
The way the AI teach out is being handled makes me sick.
Active students are aggravated because they can't get into classes they need to graduate. They can't get ahold of anyone to get them their transcripts and FA. They aren't showing up to class anymore. EDMC is not giving the campus staff any direction... — read more
6 Short Weeks!
Only 6 short weeks until July 1. This is when the BIG BOOM will happen. It's going to be biggest layoff yet. Kool-Aid drinkers, keep thinking everything is okay. 7/1 is right around the corner. Buckle up and hunker down now.
When will the announcement of more teach out campuses come out for BMC?
Gainful employment regulations begin July 1st. You think more than half the programs will be out on probation right off the bat? How long until FA will not give loans to students in certain programs?
EDMC is done per CK and I believe him.
How can anyone ignore the many lawsuits and accusations? I'm a former employee and I know that what's being leveled at EDMC is largely true. No accountability from their accrediting bodies and a culture of greed and of corporate management not... — read more
Internship?
I tried to get an internship with EDMC but basically got shot down by their architect/designer. Thanks you very much EDMC corporate real estate. I don't know if I should be happy or angry. I know I'm good at what I do and both of us could have... — read more
AUO Falling too?
With all of the focus on AI, where does Argosy stand? Staff is a revolving door, "quality" appears shot...what is the next step for them?
Question for Camden Kid
CK, do you think EDMC will fall by the wayside like CCI?
What Brown Mackie Colleges are going to be shutdown.
Do we have a projected list like the Ai list that was floated around last month? If people know the numbers of students at each location please post.
Faculty Walk Out
Anyone catch wind of a faculty Walkout on June 22nd?
Come on everyone - stop with the negativity and work together to change or close EDMC
Hi everyone- I'm a former employee. I resigned a year and a half ago after several years at EDMC locations. Like you, I believed that I was a part of a good school system. Later , I realized that althought we offered some very good programs, our cost... — read more
BMC ADMISSIONS VP SCOTT
Scott please do BMC a favor and exit the organization. Your leadership is horrible, your policies are failing, you have no clue what to do and your military recruiting tatics belong in the military not in education.
