upfront
Do you tell the targets that they're being sold to the holy rollers or am I beimg too much a killjoy? Just wondering.
The Dream Center announcement isn't on the Charleston website anymore.
What's happening there with the sale?
Who Is The Next AM at SUO?
Any insight? Are there any qualified people left?
The Dream Center / Chicago Campus
The Dream Center is not buying Chicago campus. They don't like the area and the faculty and staff has salaries too high to burden themselves with changing. Chicago will close with the reach out schools.
Colorado
The one is Colorado IS being bought. But it cannot "close the deal" until the Higher Learning Commission blesses it, which will not be until later this year. There are three others in this boat, but I don't know which ones
Our ADAs keep bringing in Media Arts and Game Art students
Our ADAs keep bringing in Media Arts and Game Art students. Their gullibility is such a target. They need to go to a trade school so they can pay for all the video games they like playing.

Layoffs
It has to be coming soon. How are the numbers? When is the deal going to close? What is going to happen? Someone has to have some inside information
Last days
I'm getting excited when is the last day for us online in PIT?
So Depressing
I swear I'm just a therapist for these lousy students. I wish it would just end.
It's a great day at South University
With all of the negative things written about the EDMC/DC deal I just ask that everyone open their mind and eyes to what is happening. At South it is nothing but great things. Leadership is filtering out those that would hold us back or bring us... — read more

Argosy: where you get fired for hitting your goals
Well they made it clear this week. Better take those apps and start students. Having them successfully complete class doesn't mean anything. Take note that's the world we live in now. Hit your goal and still get fired.
The end is near for EDMC
Everyone not looking for a job should be now. All you that sit around and think you can ride the boat well it's about to sink and we ALL will see what it's like not having our jobs. To many rumors that I think will be reality real soon
Can Ai survive?
Is it possible that Ai makes it through the sale and survives under new ownership?, I find it hard to remain positive.
