THE COMPANY CAN CHANGE ITS NAME TO ANYTHING IT WANTS, BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT DEVRY IS STILL A SWEATSHOP. BECAUSE: INSTRUCTORS TEACH 47 HOURS PER YEAR AS OPPOSED TO THE USUAL 24 AT OTHER COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. EVEN THOUGH THEY PRETENDED TO... — read more 

It sounds like students are getting very little from the FTC settlement. One student I know got $280. How much are they getting in arbitration? I have seen $7000. Is anyone getting more than that?

Yes, Lisa did mention that increasing class size was part of the strategy of getting to profitability. I wonder if that's true of Chamberlain. If it is, that strategy will backfire, with lower pass rates.

Looks like DeVry found a former Apollo Group executive for the professional segment. Any ideas about what that means? And the numbers again look really bad for the "traditional segment." Fourth quarter segment revenue decreased 21.3% to $136.3... — read more 

Is DeVry complying with anti-deception policy? Or are people finding some way to get around the compliance? This is what I was told: "DeVry instituted technology to screen all of its recruiters phone calls. Specifically, the technology picks up on... — read more

Wouldn't cutting Chamberlain's egregiously high tuition be a better idea? 600 schools plus doing RN-BSN and many at half or less the price.

Layoffs usually follow shortly thereafter. Brace yourselves

. I now know the reason why the upper execs believe that there is hope. First, their underlings don't tell them the whole truth because such negativity (a.k.a. honesty) is punished, at least in my region. Second, they make loose and inaccurate... — read more

Of course "Ad Talem" which is supposed to mean "towards empowerment" actually doesn't. A more literal translation is "almost good"

Why would they close now, after all of the results to bring up the school to the top level? Put all the monies where they belong, for the students to get where they need. I couldn't argue more then saying the next year will prove the doubters wrong... — read more 

Do they still pay rent for offices in "The Tower"? That office was for the founding fathers. If they still pay rent there, it's a waste of money.

Devry is not long for this world as the officers are being sued by shareholders. This will result in another huge hit to the bottom line. htt://courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/devry.pdf

Caught wind of layoffs coming tomorrow. Can anyone confirm for Chamberlain and DeVry? Need to know, I have a family to support....

In looking at the SEC paperwork, I see that Devry got rid of two major executives in late January. Can anyone tell me why they were sacked? It was surprising to see that one of them was in charge of the most profitable part of DV.

Adtalem? Really? https://www.insidehighered.com/quicktakes/2017/05/03/devry-rebrand-adtalem-global-education
