Thread regarding University of Phoenix layoffs

Some faculty will ride it down to the end

Well --- I'm a former faculty member, starting at a local campus and then going online. For a long time we had a great reputation here, with many dedicated faculty. We put out a good product.

The downfall of UoP came, in my opinion, with the rise of Online. As they got more and more influence the product deteriorated more and more.

And faculty walk out? Pay is about minimum wage level now, and never was that good. Doctoral degrees are required for Master's level teaching and probably Bachelor level too soon. Many long-term faculty are complaining that they are getting only one or two classes in a year.

But, there are many people who need the income from teaching, as meager as it is, for whatever reason, that they'll put up with the various pressures. 'Way back when, when class sizes were half of what they are now, we had discussion of the low, low pay rate. One faculty member, a woman I think, said, "Yes, low. But I'm a stay at home mom and any pay is great pay."

Some faculty will ride it down to the end.

Something that might work better. Let Veterans Education Success know what's happening with the quality of education at UoPX.
