Perhaps I should have said "jobs" that should have never been created in the first place. At any rate the Pareto principle holds true 20% of the staff produce 80% of revenue. I agree that there are to many directors, Associate directors , senior... — read more 

The worry is that UOP is based on favoritism. They people that "never should have been hired" aren't the ones getting fired! It's who is liked vs disliked. We continue to watch them "skim the fat" but UOP is still top heavy.

Its pretty simple.....the industry grew to big , to fast....everyone thought the growth of enrollment would never slow down , just like the housing bubble, obviously they were wrong. Now people , who should have never been hired in the first place... — read more

Investor (none), Wednesday 1/16/13 1:04 PM It seems to me as an investor that UOP's enrollment will drop to about 250,000 students and hopefully level off at that time. Beyond some west coast locations, the school will be 80% focused on online not... — read more 

Dr. John plans to take the retirement bonus with him when he is gone by using the Texas A&M Cryogenic facility he helped build with about #30 million.

What's going on with centralizing? With enrollment? Cd's, ac's and FA's and their managers?

Campus listservs have been locked down. Only market and local leadership can send to them. Supposedly some nasty farewell messages got sent out to DGs after the October layoffs so they want to keep that from happening again.

Does anyone know if the Baton Rouge or New Orleans campuses are merging or closing?

State requirements here : http://www.usg.edu/academics/distance_education_regulations_by_state/

UNLESS your state requires a school to have a physical presence there to operate, you are toast. In order to get grants such a Minnesota state grant or Ohio and etc, the school must have one location there. Others who fall outside this are done. Pack... — read more
