According to VA's GI Bill Feedback System, University of Phoenix continues to have the most complaints. Only DeVry and Colorado Tech have a higher percentage of complaints. The spreadsheet can be downloaded here ("download data on all schools")... — read more 

I'm reading the last few posts - one from an arguably worried UoP graduate and two from insiders. Here are my 2cents. I worked for UoP for 2 years and left. Ran away to be more precise. I now work for a large, Fortune 100 company in recruitment (you... — read more 

So my campus is closing. Not a peep from Campus administration. When is this happening? Will I still teach? Did I just get laid off by email?

Hi Ms HR, I know you read our post.

Gainful employment showed us what we already knew. Morons attend for-profit colleges because they can't get in/survive anywhere else. We now have the data. And nothing happens. Why? Because you can't shut down a school because it is providing a crap... — read more 

Of the 115,985 graduates from programs that failed the gainful employment test in the first year of reported data, 32,801 of those students—or 28%--came from programs housed within just three institutions: The University of Phoenix, ITT Technical... — read more

Campus closures or as UOP is currently calling it teach out never stay open as long as the proposed campus timeline. So staff at those locations never last more than a year. The offer to work from home makes no sense since you have to be near a... — read more

I just heard admissions was hit this morning. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Well they are attacking the smallest but most profitiable department. They laid off the Director of Veterans Affairs. They laod off the Welcome Center manager for VA. This is hemorrhaging

This is going to be massive, like apocalyptic massive. Take this with a grain of salt as my source is typically about 70% correct.

Campus teach outs are expected to be announced this week. Any intel on which ones?

Whomever asserted the degree is worthless is just spewing sour grapes. That is pure nonsense. I have taught here for 30 years and been in admin for 25. All of my degrees (7) are from either traditional or hybrid schools. I have taught at both... — read more

When is the list of campus closures coming out? I've heard a new list is coming in September.

Some big names are gone. Payback.
