GOODBYE BRENT!!!
Let's hope EM and CB are next. If so, maybe the schools will actually have a chance to succeed.
Careful what you wish for
Looks like we may all get our Christmas wish of taking this place down! Oh that's right, no job, no mon, no fun. I for one am hopeful they can pull this out of the fire in one way or another. We have too many students who have put their trust in our... — read more
Lead provider only converted at 2%
Yet people were and still are being put on CAPs and being blamed for missing their numbers. Sounds like wrongful termination and an HR or legal issue to me. Don’t be pushed around for the failings of leadership.
Liability insurance + principals
The principals applied to the court to use their officers and directors’ liability insurance. It is typical for companies to have this insurance so officers and directors are not personally liable for mis-haps. Good luck trying to sue a company that... — read more
Big Announcement by end of Week
Something coming by the end of the week but very hush hush. Some speculate the announcement that all Ais are closing or DCEH is declaring bankruptcy
I have proof
EM and cronies... I left and have evidence that the school I worked at misled students by telling them certain companies hired but they never did. I left and I have this information. Is this enough to get their loans forgiven? Where should I go from... — read more
Who Do You Blame?
That's easy. I blame Admissions. Low down hucksters one step above car salesmen masquerading as higher education professionals, walking around campus telling other departments how to do their job while they don't know their a-- from their elbow. And... — read more
Why does our Login Info still say EDMC in the URLs?
Do we still work for EDMC? EDMC filled Chapter 7 on all the locations
You Can’t Really Call This A Campus Anymore
I’m at one of the “open” AI’s, but it feels like a teachout. Ghost town. Empty offices and classrooms everywhere. Piles of junk where layed off faculty just walked away and left their c**p. Admissions has little interest from prospects. Few tours... — read more
More great news...
...for the sons and daughters of Baphomet https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2018/11/27/671284334/college-side-hustle?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20181128&utm_campaign=news&utm_term=nprnews
Millennials will be feeling this crisis for decades to come
It’s no secret that millennials are swamped with student loan debt. While more millennials have obtained bachelor’s degrees than those in generations past, they also borrowed the most to earn those degrees. As of 2018, outstanding student loan debt... — read more
Rip mngt a new one survey handed out today
Oh baby, can’t wait to throw my boss under the bus in writing. Seems like people can’t hit their goals and are restless.
DeVos, accreditors, and DCEH
What does DeVos reinstatement of discredited accreditor ACICS mean for DCEH, Middle States, HLC, WASC, etc? https://www.republicreport.org/2018/while-you-were-eating-devoss-holiday-embrace-of-predatory-colleges/
Ai Pittsburgh Lives To Fraud Another Day
Lets see how JC and EM spin our continuing Show Cause status with Middle States. PS... Studio Management is for real and happening.
New medical benefits for adjuncts
So DCEH is offering medical benefits to adjuncts in 2019. Two plans - copay and high deductible HSA. As a new adjunct I am considering the offer but maybe Affordable Care Act is a better option. Price is same for full timers and adjuncts -but... — read more
What are you thankful for?
I am thankful I personally no longer work for this hell whole company! Life after is amazing! Responses should be amusing!
DCEH on the upswing!
Congrats! No one has been laid off for 29 days. Let’s keep the momentum going through the weekend!
The Blame Game
Let's play the Blame Game. Who do you blame for this c-aphole situation? Someone said Admissions. Who ya got? Be ruthless.
Who to Blame?
I blame Admissions for being such a bunch of predatory sharks. Despicable. Students who can barely write, cant function at all and yet Admissons takes them all. Sharks. Crooks. You all ought to be ashamed. This is YOUR fault.
It’s just a job
It’s just a job. That is all it is. It has never mattered what happened on a campus, the operating procedure comes from a higher authority. All employees have been told to operate like it is business as usual. Forget about the casualties of the... — read more
MSCHE
MSCHE has posted a letter continuing AI Pittsburgh on a "Show Cause " status.
Nothing here works
New system is slow and garbage. Last week our manager tells us to use STAR in Chrome but but but I thought it had to be used with Microsoft stuff. It still freezes and crashes. Then the back end document processors are SLOW to the point that things... — read more
Get That Turkey
Good news.... y’all are getting rehired with double the pay and the best benefits ever.
BusinessWeek article on DCEH

No news on AIP or AIO accreditation, but he's an article from today on the topic.

Coming Soon.... Studio Management
All on ground staff at core Ais... ALL.... will be replaced with staff from Studio, an outside management company... Start asking questions!
Not a clue.
I've done what you've asked I thought as I skulked down the hallway to my next class. But it was hard to contain the feeling of being abandoned by those who promised so much. What did I do? I feel like an innocent victim of the years of their lies. I... — read more
How students are treated
To some at Ai, students are just a number, dollar sign or statistic to others they’re people who are interesting to get to know. We wish students well but they have to look out for themselves. If you’re a student who received a notice your debt to... — read more
Activity on the 15th or 16th
Any more news on what is supposed to happen on the 15th or 16th?
Ahh, The Memories
@W7HAwIR Truly an evil doppleganger's version of "Goodbye Mr. Chips" that succeeds in foisting on us an overtly nausea provoking paean to cultism that inexplicably works to sugar-coat the stench. How about that?
So Long Art Institute community - Mic drop :-)
As the last weeks of our closing campus come to an end I will see the final graduating class across the stage. It is bittersweet but we had a good run until recently. Everywhere I go and mention the campus is closing people are shocked. Most of my... — read more
HLC
HLC left Colorado on "candidacy" status, aka, not accredited.
Will we learn of the fate of AIP and AIO this week?
.....or will Middle States drag their feet?
"For profit" not the issue
Several Art Institute campuses were" for profit" for over 40 years before it became an issue. When EDMC was run by committed owners who supported quality programs and constantly reinvested in the campuses the money was well spent. Once predatory... — read more
No overtime allowed, doors shutting shortly
This is it folks. The last tightening of the belt. When a company completely restricts overtime it’s a good sign they are close to folding. Abandon ship and make plans.
