KKR
When is KKR going to pull the plug on EDMC. I heard it will be before February. Obviously they're not in this for the long haul and are tired of throwing more money down the drain. Might explain how certain VPs and Directors are still around. KKR... — read more

Note
F the art institute. My wife attended for a short period. She had stopped taking classes but the school enrolled her in classes and continued to draw money from her GI Bill. We had the BBB involved in the ordeal and finally got our money back.
Campus Directors Getting Canned
Newest round of layoffs seems to be the Campus Directors getting let go. Awful nice of the company to send out letters to the management team stating a date that our job is set to expire with details of a bonus package if we elect to stay on board... — read more

Bogus Compliance Gaps
So they continue to eliminate those from the matrix with bogus compliance violations. Friend let go at AUO yesterday and never given the chance to listen to the call. EDMC needs to go away. So many lives being destroyed by worst management ever... — read more
AI Charleston Open!
Typical EDMC fashion to open up AI Charleston today even though the entire city is under water! They care more about money and sticking with the academic calendar than they do the well being of students, faculty, and staff. Shows how little money... — read more
EDMC Employees - get ready to move on! Your boss is.
I left the company/college (Ai PGH Online Division) over year ago but I still have many friends there. Over the last few weeks, I've noticed that quite a few leadership team members have been re hauling/sprucing up their LinkedIn pages. In... — read more
Ageism and Homophobia at EDMC
Would like to hear stories about those laid off from EDMC / Art Institutes who are over 50 years old, Or, who are gay/lesbian. From what some have told me, over the past 2 or 3 years, seems to be a pattern - especially at EDMC headquarters.
THEY HATE IT!!!!!!
GET OUT AND PICKET!!!!!!!

EDMC to declare itself bankrupt. Just watch.
The money grubbers win. And they will have successfully squeezed every last drop. Evil, but brilliant. At this point you can only continue to blame to victims still taking on debt to line the pockets of a few.
The layoffs have started.
Full-time faculty are being called in one by one.
Campus meeting tomorrow
All campus meeting scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. Email said it was a business update. Is there any additional information available?
Who is Cooler
Paul Chambers, Jake Godec or THE VIC?
AUO?
Is this website only for AUO?
Schadenfreude: "Pleasure derived from another person's misfortune." (A biblical palliative for those at EDMC in fear of losing their jobs.)
Adapted from the 23rd Psalm: Please bow your headcount. The Lord is your schadenfreude; You shall not not schadenfreude. He maketh you to lie down in schadenfreude pastures; he schadenfreudeneth you beside the still schadenfreude. He restoreth your... — read more

Very little SUO & AIO Chatter
Things must be good over at SUO and AIO. There used to be a lot of post about those two schools. Now it's just AUO. Wonder if I should try to go to one of those schools.
Feel bad for old coworkers
I hope everyone still working are looking hard for new jobs. Everyday someone is taking a buyout. I have a new job lined up, but worry about the chances of Coworkers who have no degree and rely on their 80k to pay for their luxury cars. Shame
No expenses being approved? What up with that?
Normally we get expenses reimbursed very quickly but as of the last few weeks they have been in a holding pattern and they aren't being approved. Any opinion why this may be??? Show me the money!
