Thread regarding DeVry Inc. layoffs

I got a low category and I have really high student eval scores. There were also insulting remarks.

I think the older you are and the longer the number of years of service, the lower the category.

Sounds like ageism to me!

So Ron Paul is out?

I too had zero negatives on my ipp and got effective achieves. So did a friend of mine. What is up??

It looks like everyone is being rated lower than they should be to avoid pay increases. My IPP has no negatives on it and plenty of superlative language describing how "amazing" I have been, but that only results in a rating of "Effective/Achieves" and barely comes with any raise at all. A fellow professor who also gets high marks on course evaluations was rated as needing improvement with no real reasons given, even though he has been with DeVry for many years and has always had great reviews from students. Something smells fishy. We wonder if some of us are being set up for termination.

they will probably delay ipps as long as possible so as to avoid giving money on "merit pay increases"

Did anyone get IPP review yet?

If you look at job postings they are always looking for admissions advisors

---why not just let students do the enrolling enroll online? Put all the forms & all needed info there. Then few advisors really needed at all, unless there are questions. That might serve half of the applicants.

End of the session, right? Fear for your mortgage every 8 weeks....

Tomorrow

So when is the next round of layoffs, do you think?

What toys is Rob playing with?

"Additional cost reductions are expected throughout fiscal 2018 to maintain positive segment economics." Basically, it sounds like more layoffs or location closures. They need to start with Rob Paul. He brings us closer and closer to the brink of complete shutdown. Too busy playing with toys and thinking about superheroes to help the students who come to us in good faith, or even just to keep the company alive.

If you look at job postings they are always looking for admissions advisors. I don't know if they think if they have more advisors it will turn things around or if they are looking to layoff the ones they have to hire new ones at lower pay. You would think by now they would realize that formula isn't working well.

This means class size will go to 55 or 60, with an increased emphasis on passing students through. The company is in a death spiral of its own making due to incompetent and fraudulent management.

Sad news
