Thread regarding Dream Center Education Holdings, LLC (DCEH) layoffs

$5000 "tuition credit" requires legal release, secrecy clause

Read the forms distributed to students: $5000 “tuition grant” -- to study at another school where Ai does not offer a comparable program online -- requires the student to (1) waive all legal claims against the school and (2) agree to keep the existence and terms of the agreement a secret. This is a coercive term, again underscoring that the supposedly nonprofit DCEH is always ready to play hardball with its students.

Faculty are also being sold on the idea for the tuition grants as an option should students not want to be fully online- not only if the program isn't offered at a nearby campus or online. The program I teach is technically offered online but some of the class choices online are farcical. No on ground instructor (particularly those of us adjunct and still working in the field) understand HOW some of these topics could be taught online. Also, the nearby campus is making it very difficult to accept on ground students.

The only students I saw this last week are graduating by the end of the year so they haven't had to answer that question for themselves.

@David Halperin Faculty are NOT being told about that secrecy clause in the tuition "grant" agreements.

I'm an adjunct at a closing school. Morally and ethically I have a huge problem with an NDA here.

We were presented with an MOU of the continual transfer (either online or at an open campus). In no official or unofficial communications have we EVER been told of that NDA portion of the $5000 tuition grant.

Everytime I see a post by a particualr grifter DC employee that calls some folks "haters" when pointing out the dispicable, yes, "hardball" behaviors of this conspiracy to prevaricate and defraud, I have to wince for there are few things more hateful short of premeditated murder in life than to willfully destroy someone's financial well being and then turn around offer an empty and cynical attempt to make ammends by turfing them to some failed and expensive online scam with a graduation rate that makes Vegas odds look attractive.

Your reference to James 5:2 is much appreciated.

Might not be worth that for 2 weeks.

“Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of Sabbath. You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of slaughter.”

James 5:2-5

Wait until you read the terms of your 2 week severance package. It's basically the same agreement. You must sign a nondisclosure agreement and agree not to bring lawsuits against or join any class action lawsuit against the company.
