Thread regarding University of Phoenix layoffs

Layoffs and closings are only options for profitability

Without enrollment growth, there is no choice other than layoffs and closings for profitability. Mid level management and operational management does not know and are not informed so they can preserve whatever morale is left and prevent the last few competent employees from leaving. There will be more, many more layoffs until the enrollment floor is reached. My guess is about 50K; however I don't think that is even sustainable.

Exactly what @Td5nSjT-5jnc said. Don't live in a fantasy land and believe we are done with layoffs. We are far from it.

@TlYazMf-2zeb, the Department of Education and the HLC don't care about the decline in educational quality. But you ought to tell Richard Pollock at the Daily Caller about the situation. If there is any chance to turn this around, there needs to be more transparency.

I am in Phoenix and there is panic behind the ivory doors. Enrollment is plummeting and there isn't a clue on how to stem the tide. Faculty are being slashed- those who haven't taught in the last 6 months are done. There is no consideration for a quality. Too many faculty phone it in- have pre-written posts, never respond in a discussion and gloss over grading. I have heard this many times from students. Admin does not care about quality- they want tuition dollars and that's it. A UOPX degree is a sham- sad to say it is worthless. I don't really know how to turn things around but there needs to be a focus on the faculty- dump those who phone it in regardless of their credentials.

We are far from it but closing and reductions is not an answer, it’s a reaction. As for keeping good staff, lol, no effort is being made to keep people. We just let them walk.
