Thread regarding Bridgepoint Education Inc. layoffs

Culture of silence at Ashford University

Why is it that Ashford people haven't said anything on this site? It's obvious that people are reading the posts. Are you happy with what's happening at work? Are you concerned about your job? Do you have concerns about the students?

@Ovoax1d-4yth, the last SEC report indicated 77 students, down from 99. Looks like it's just a matter of time before they close the doors. When they do close, will anyone notice?

Bridgepoint and it's subsidiaries are feeling the pain. They are scrambling for avenues of students, but the market is drying up for them steadily, causing them to look at other avenues for recruitment. Nothing like it was a few years ago, more subdued. The stink of layoffs still hangs over them, and recent Evening Creek closure in December was proof that funds are getting tight. Unfortunately, for most employees, the job might s---, but pay is good for some positions, so best to stick it out and hope for a severance. If your in the low end positions (recruitment, student facing) it will always be a revolving door. The entire management needs to change to make this company whole again.

This place is a dumpster fire and I hope Bridgepoint goes out of business soon. Unethical practices and incompetent management make for an unenjoyable workplace. I wonder why no one is talking about cash + cash assets = $218 million, whereas it was at $380 million the same time last year. This place is going down the toilet. Their "presence" in Arizona is a joke.
