I try and stay out of student finance, but I have to wonder what the Director of Finance does now that most of the finance employees are gone. Did all the work go to Socle?

As of July 8th, I'm the only one in FA. We still have hundreds of students. Required Federal procedures have to completed (student loan exit counseling, default prevention management -- our % is still under 10 and as long as I'm there I intend to assist my students in avoiding default and delinquencies) SOCLE will call the students for packaging issues, but they tell them to go see their F/A dept at the campus. VA has to be maintained as directed by their regulations. Students still seem to want assistance with Genesis payments. Non title 4 payments have to be posted and deposited. We still have re-enters that have to be packaged (SOCLE doesn't do this). Ensuring all documents needed for 2nd award year re-paks are completed on time. The Federal work study program has to be maintained and supervised. I'm very busy and it's very nice not to have to be on conference calls anymore! The teach out schools were not impacted by the 10% wage reductions-we're already getting screwed so I'm grateful CSC exempted the campuses from this latest abuse.
they go around checking toner usage, and also making sure everyone is printing double sided.
My kind of job!
Golf with Jack, Bob and Ken?
I don't know if Socle is good or bad. Now that most work is not at the campus level, why keep the high paid directors?
The work went to Socle a long time ago. Well, it was called SFS then, but it's the same thing (they just changed their name to Socle last year). The campus SF people are just part of the admissions process now. "Selling" the financial aid package to hook the potential student. So, if you're in an area that's not enrolling, no need for that support.
