So Who Responded To Every Single Thread Last Night?!?

An Odd Prediction
We are all expecting the worst when it comes to Cogswell’s Cogs taking over DeVry. It’s only logical to expect layoffs and campus closures—it’s what any of us would do if we have even a shred of business sense. But here’s an even more terrifying... — read more

Worth a read
Having been away from DV for awhile I can honestly say I had some hesitation about even working for DV before I got the job offer. Then I saw how all the people who worked there wanted to help students aucceed. Remember their “We’re Seeious about... — read more

Who will stay at DVU? And for how long?
No one knows the fate of DeVry colleagues. Regardless of the outcome of the pending transfer of ownership, outlook doesn’t look good. Surely management says nothing nationwide, and its business as usual. Do people think Cogswell will want to maintain... — read more
Student loan defaults skyrocketing
For those who havent figured out what's going on, let me summarize it. From around 2009 until 2015'ish, the govt practically gave money away to anyone who could sign their name on a piece of paper stating they would use it for school. Kids using the... — read more
Sad but not unexpected
I was an employee of DeVry and I had a feeling that 90% placements were phony. Still, I think bigger issue was not delivering value and charging such high prices. If Devry did not expand for all degrees but stayed as a small technical school... — read more
This is what our students are going through
I am a student at Keller in Jacksonville. Since enrolling in late 2015, I have seen onsite class sizes drop from 8-12 students to just two or three. That is, if there is a class onsite. Some terms there are only one or two classes onsite and they... — read more
Why did DeVry Fail
Let’s be honest, DeVry started going downhill when they let every student in who was breathing. Many had no business being in college because they were ill prepared. Deficient in Math, English, Reading, etc. Everyone in Admissions perpetuated this... — read more
Missed Opportunity
In transferring ownership, they really missed an opportunity. They should have transferred ownership to the employees and let DeVry University continue as an employee-owned company (like was done Avis, United Airlines, etc.). The current employees... — read more
It is a shame
I am a DV alumnus and worked at DVU for several years. I have since moved on and think fondly on the days when DV made a difference. Unfortunately senior leadership's (you know who you are) focus changed, sometime after Hamburger came on board. The... — read more

One valid thing Camden repeatedly points out is how these are corporations/companies own colleges (with students as customers) versus a college with students as learners. Yes, all schools have to stay afloat financially. However, the taint that these... — read more

Instructors expected to be tutors as well
A fundamental flaw in DeVry's approach was to blame the instructors for the lack of student learning, rather than realizing that most students lacked the skills to succeed in higher education, and that the DeVry classes were not structured to help... — read more

The fall of once good school
I worked for DeVry for nearly 2 decades. I left of my own free will, and was fortunate to be able to do so. I feel for all who are tied to their unhappy employment without resources to quit--I was once one of you, and I know your pain. At the end, in... — read more

Recipe for disaster
DeVry was an okay tech school when it was DeVry Institute and only offered associate's degrees. Then it cut classes to 8-weeks, dropped any pretense of admission standards, started calling itself a "university", and some moron in marketing made... — read more
