Student Mentors laid off soon?

I've heard gossip that the student mentors will be cut soon. Apparently, they won't be needed anymore because faculty chairs will take on the responsibility of registering students. Can anyone confirm this?

Interview?

I just interviewed for a position at this school. I came across this forum but now I’m hesitant about taking the position. Should I take it or is the school closing soon? Help!

It’s been quiet

Guess what? The end is near.

You cannot teach "Art" totally online only, can you? Oh wait, maybe if you have state-of-the-art software. Can't imagine this greedy place invested in that. How about Culinary. Let me cook online.... Tata, Art Institute. All grifters eventually... — read more
