There are several signs that UoPX may not around. In fact, University of Phoenix appears to be following a flight path already been taken by Corinthian Colleges and its successor, debt collector ECMC. These bad signs include: (1) being bought by a Apollo Global, a vulture firm that is also buying tons of student loan debt, (2) using Tony Miller as the new shill for UoPX--reminiscent of Corinthian Colleges using Marc Morial and ECMC using Troy Stovall, (3) refusing to acknowledge aggressive recruiting of veterans against federal policy, (4) marketing to a desperate working-class moms demographic ("If I Only Had a Brain" Campaign) instead of working professionals, (5) tens of thousands of disgruntled former students and workers who are only silenced publicly by NDA's and binding arbitration, but not silenced among family, friends, and communities. Last but not least, (6) University of Phoenix has REFUSED TO LISTEN to the courageous workers and former students who have stood up to Apollo Group's and University of Phoenix's wrongdoing--by filing lawsuits and contacting government authorities.

I know I had nothing to do with UoP's present situation. University of Phoenix has been imploding for years. Aaron Glantz's investigative work didn't even have much to do with it. John Sperling didn't listen for years, not even to John D. Murphy. And Todd S. Nelson was a key part of Phoenix's downward trajectory................................. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/apollo-group-sinking-ship-dahn-shaulis?trk=mp-author-card
LOL. People who attended this fake school think they are "educated."
What amazes me is that you probably think you have played a large role in the current state of UOP. I have been on this site for years and do not post much. But you act like this is big tobacco or sub prime lending and you are some investigative journalist blowing the cover. I just don't understand have a decade of your fixation on this.
As a proud graduate of University of Phoenix, I am disappointed by your continued assault on the university.
Attending Phoenix was the best educational experience of my life. It is a wonderful institution that has helped hundreds of thousands of graduates in deep and meaningful ways. Your comments can be made about almost any institution as there will always be students that do not make it though college. That is why a degree matters.
If you must spend your time writing about University of Phoenix, please do so fairly and share some of the millions of positive stories from students with a wonderful Phoenix educational experience.
Thank you.
Get a life dude.
