Thread regarding University of Phoenix layoffs

This will backfire

They took away the number of classes available now increase number of students in each class, reduce faculty, increase fees. Used to be resource fees for electronic books was a way to control book costs and have books readily available to students for classes. No shipping fees or forgetting to order the books. I would think only way electronic book fees would go up would involve publisher royalty fees. But most likely just UOPhx way of finding way to squeeze out more money somewhere. Desperate measures for desperate times. This is why you will see many corporate and government programs are pulling their employees from UOPhx based on UOPhx ethical, image issues and not being able to rely on consistent costs and schedules. Competent, ethical faculty and staff are a thing of past. Image destroyed. Wonder how long their name will remain on Arizona NFL stadium? It's pathetic how long this downfall is taking.

True, @NYMivOR-mwkz. This approach will just make sure we further tarnish our reputation and alienate potential students, and it's a band-aid at best. This just could be a final nail in the coffin.

How many students are in the classes now? I joined the team back when the marketing scheme to students were 'small classes, lower teacher to student ration'. The max was 13! Then it went to 15 and kept creeping up to the low twenties. I resigned because the expectations and class size kept increasing but the salary remained static and the benefits were stripped away.
