Somebody (Pete) is doing something. He is doing his best to rightsize and make UOP more palatable to a potential buyer. AES has already shown its hand. They will invest in foreign markets but not here. Frankly, even the Russian market looks better to them than the US market does now. So, the future is bleak, even by his own admission at the last "leadership" call. He was bold enough to assert that we will be down to 70K students within a year. He does think it could stabilize at that level. I doubt it. There is no reason to believe the bleeding will stop. Too much competition, abysmal leadership, no discernible differentiation, poor reputation, mediocre academics, fractured culture, are just too much to overcome. This was once a bold experiment. The demographic and the model to serve it was innovative. Not anymore. UOP was never a diploma mill; nor was it a quality academic institution.
