What do you do when what's left of the management team does not know what it does not know? Ask Why, and you are told because Accreditation or the Department of Ed mandates it. Ask them to cite where it is stated in Accreditation or Department of Ed guidelines.... And they go silent. Then you research yourself or even call Accreditation and they contradict what you are told by SAE Management! Too many times in the last year are we given the reason that Accreditation and the Department of Education require it and there is no substantiated support or documentation to back that statement up. Example/ the attendance policy. I had researched both credit hour and clock hour school systems that had received accolades for compliance, and there are variances with their attendance policy. Again, ask management to point out where in the regulations does it state something the next time you are told that Accreditation or Department of Education says so.

This is the second time I've read on this blog that "Udo embezelled millions". Where did this come from? It's preposterous and not true.
Everything is still up in the air. Who is running the show or making the decisions at this point?
Does Navitas want to shut down SAE USA? It certainly seems to be their objective. First, Udo was allowed to embezzled millions unchecked, then they bring in Scott Drath who had never worked with accreditation nor Title IV Federal Financial aid, followed by the antics of Winkowski and his inept posse, and another completely unqualified hire with Mike Bottrell.
Is any one able to shed any light on what they are thinking?
You guys are soooooooooooo screwed.
MIke Bottrell. He was not formerly introduced really to the campuses.
Who is the new CFO?
Dont worry. By next year, ex'Pression will close down or at least downsize their facilities since leases are about to expire. Miami HQ will close down and relocate to Los Angeles. Sorry folks at Group... 6-12 month timely is set. The entire call center will have the option to relo or get a VERY small severance package. Financial aid will b gone too. They will revert to the prior FA format -that put them on financial aid restrictions in the first place. Supposedly, new cfo has limited experience ... Even less than previous cfo ... What are they thinking? Ceo is in australia... Still have george running around like an idiot. Dont let me get startted with HR dept.
