Layoffs May be Coming to University of Phoenix
With the University of Phoenix’s enrollment down more than 50% of what it was just two years ago and nearly 80% since the height of the private, for-profit’s enrollment of approximately 455,000 students, many are hedging their bets when it comes to... — read more

Problems finishing online?
Are there any veterans with PTSD who are concerned about having to finish their schooling online? If so, please let me know.
Run out the clock
Upper management knows it is entitled. So run out the clock with bad ideas, failures, dead ends, then cash out. Lovely.
Liars
Our manager told us that you might work from home if you're near a RUNNING campus like within certain miles. But if you are in the outlying teachout locations you can kiss your job good bye. They are only going to need a couple dozen enrollment reps... — read more
Now that the Qualifying Center is gone.
There are fewer and fewer potential students calling in but yet management expects each enrollment counselor to enroll 12 enrollments or more. Newsflash a$$holes our team of 10 enrollment reps had a total of 52 newly enrolled students for last month... — read more
More layoffs

Who still enrolls at University of Phoenix these days?
Its been a few years since word got out to even the poor and stupid that University of Phoenix degrees were fake and that you cant get a job with one. After I left enrollment declined immensely but I hear 50k are still enrolled in 2018. Back in my... — read more

June 29th, 2015 ... Never Forget.
Seriously. That was a great day for me. I caught the round of layoffs three years ago from yesterday and I'll say it: there were some struggles after experiencing that. I mean, I took a substantial pay cut for a while and tried a few different jobs... — read more

Classroom outage for 25 hours and counting
All the good tech folks are gone, I guess. I've never known them to have an outage lasting this long. Students are panicked and p.o.'d.
Select Campus?
Does anyone know what a "select" campus is? UOP has designated some campuses as teach-out, select, and market. No one seems to know what select actually means.

Data; not sure how or whether it will affect potential layoffs
From yesterday's leadership broadcast: No growth in FY18. Down 15% in new degree enrollments. Down 2% in continuing degree enrollments (this was spun as great news, because it is an indicator of higher retention). Compared to FY17, down about 18% in... — read more

Severance with layoffs?
Anyone know if they typically give severance to the laid off? Ever heard of them laying off without it? Just curious in case they hit this month.
Dump those who phone it in
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... — read more

UOP - Utah
The Utah location has been dead for some time. But they have an Education Program Chair and no students. I was told I wasn’t needed anymore because they weren’t running the programs. But they kept the staff. Maybe that explains the failures of UOP.
UoPX live chat and call center not operating on Sundays?
