How many people were first let go from Ex'pression over the summer? Was it only the management team?

Just sayin'

I have read a number of threads regarding embracing change and how a centralized process can and has worked at other schools. I have been at schools that effectively implemented a centralized process and I agree, it worked just fine. However, the... — read more 

I have been with Ex'pression for several years and have experienced various changes from market downfall, to passing of the Founder and several management changes. This "takeover" by SAE is embarrassingly disorganized. From the change in people, who... — read more 

I'm being told I may not have the right background for my position for accreditation. So I'm trying to find the policy on what credentials are required.

I heard other campuses at SAE were still ACCSC. It would be helpful to know as it affects how we report and what to focus on.

I've never been to a school with only one finance person before...just saying, who thought of that? Is this helping SAE? What about students?

Looking for the official process on refunding timeframe and process

My advice is openly and honestly talk to him when he comes but be intelligent and professional when expressing your concerns. Don't bash people like whats going on here because it won't solve anything. I'm not afraid to express my frustrations and... — read more 

Notice how certain US management are being overly nice and responding now that the new CEO is there and they've been outed? This month should be full of Kum ba ya. At this point, put away the disingenuous comments when you finally answer emails or... — read more 

Without truly knowing who to trust. I have a fear of being too frank in fear of retaliation. When the interim CEO visits this month, can I really be that open?

I overheard that there may still be a smaller layoff for reorg. That includes people at the Group level and campus still. Except for Admissions, positions in faculty, Lab Suppies, FA, Career Services and administrative... If there are two of you in... — read more 

New article posted yesterday on how the Visa vetting will lower enrollments across the board, meaning less revenue, meaning less support over other areas. Navitas is holding onto their money:... — read more 

We have been in the dark and hear that it may not happen or we may get rid of the program.

Just want to be prepared.

Visits are coming this month. Please exercise emotional intelligence. Be hopeful. SAE US must rise above this.

How can they speak of eliminating redundancy when they add regional operations people to do the role do the COO who has yet to make appearances or even calls to the campuses? Redundancy?.... There are two FA leaders and it is obvious that one of them... — read more 

Return on investment, plain and simple! As much as Navitas may have tried to project a non threatening presence since they purchased SAE, at the end of the day Navitas and SAE are a business. For those with long memories this is not the first for... — read more 

How is it that there are still recent job postings (within the past 3 weeks) for SAE Institute across the campuses? For the FA people that were laid off, couldn't they have at least let them know of the FA positions at the other campuses? I remember... — read more 

SAE US has somehow mastered it. 1) ABSENCE OF TRUST - Corporate does not trust the campus level, so they do not empower them with the necessary tools and resources. In its place, they decide to centralize certain functions at HQ (IE/ FA in... — read more 

It was a nice gesture that calmed us for a few days. But what's going on with the rest of this "restructuring" that they are talking about. What else is going to get centralized in Miami under Jerry?

I want to know if any one knows if there's any truth to the rumor that's buzzing around that the San Francisco campus will be closed and moved over to expression. I want to know if I should get a heads start looking for a new job. Apparently, those... — read more 

Renegotiate and refinance if you can - lower rates and lower monthly for CARS and HOMES

www.higheredjobs.com seems to be a very good resource if you want to stay in the industry.

I, for one, can understand that due to ongoing circumstances at the US Headquarters and recent circumstances with a layoff, one may want to shout and scream bloody murder. I've been doing it for some time now privately. I was not the first poster of... — read more 

Why would this be too much to ask. Since you think you can figure out who should be laid off and who stays......who works and who does not work......who is needed and who is not needed how about you do some REAL WORK and take time out of your busy... — read more 

Apparently money has been majorly mismanaged. Positions were eliminated that were supposed to be handled by the group office, but so far we aren't seeing that the group is picking up any of the slack. SAE has made some major mistakes, and because of... — read more 

Is this true? I heard today that there would be more layoffs after the holiday next week. What a company.

I am glad we are being heard. Let's keep it constructive on here. And not start hitting below the belt.

It's the fault of admissions for not hitting their budget goal and the Campus Directors for not driving them to results. People here blame management but the issue was performance at the campus level. If you hit your numbers like you were supposed... — read more 

What are your thoughts?

Many posts here, nothing on layoffs. I left in 2010, are you guys laying people off now?

Fine. You had to lay off people at SAE because you couldnt balance the checkbook. You did it here too over the summer. But to not tell us is B.S. You didnt have to run down a list of names obviously. But there were key roles and initiatives happening... — read more 

I can only speak for myself, but after working here for 5 years, I've seen a change in who we are. Is SAE Corporate US trying to make us something that we are not? THey have hardly ever taken any time to come to the campus to even get to know us. I... — read more 

I heard that we purposely have not paid bills on time, credit cards,vendors, rent, etc. that we did this because we had to wait on enrollment intake to catch up. Is this like a new Ponzi scheme for education?

So it's time to expand overseas and communicate with Navitas and SAE Top Management. Rob Lourey, Leanne Edmond, Jo Anthonysz, Scott Jones and Rod Jones. We have to trust that they will take notice.

I just found this sample of a job description with compensation and bonus. Granted, this is for overseas, but I'm sure those snakes in Miami HQ got bonuses while the rest of us who have been here for years haven't even seen a raise. Here's the PDF... — read more
