This move follows the same path as the old GBAM and UBAM college mergers. GBAM enrollment dropped rapidly making it difficult to support the two colleges with separate Deans and mission statements. A similar consolidation occurred at some traditional colleges. UOP's IS&T degree program was never a true computer science or in-depth programming degree. it was more of an IT management degree with some programming courses. It could have been a specialty in the BSB degree tract. Besides, most local campuses refused to invest in "computer classrooms" where each student had a computer in front of them making local recruitment challenging.
Interesting we can still support visas for foreign employees.
Speaking of no value, why are germeany and stermeroid still here?
Barker is usless
merged, but no cuts. Ruth moved to a new "project." We are so top heavy it's not even funny. Directors for nothing. Directors for directors. It's hilarious. Cut the fat already!!! I know directors and vp's don't do anything valuable.
cost savings: less administrative staff; less Deans; less faculty; less, less, less- until 'all gone'..what surprises me most, is that employees are still surprised when they are downsized- really people?
you guys are like a year or so ahead of Devry. whatever happens at Phoenix gets sooner or later replicated over at Devry. when devry ends up doing it, they would probably call it something like Devry Integrated Tech-Biz Path degree programs.
