We had a faculty meeting at our campus, here is what we were told:
-
No idea if any schools will be opened past December (this was a direct quote from our President).
-
We are not allowed to discuss the current situation with our students, if we do, it will be grounds for termination. But if we do talk to students, tell them that we are an accredited college, even though we are not compliant with accreditation requirements.
-
That we are required to attend Open Houses and encourage students to enroll, even though no one knows if there will be a college in January to attend.
-
Firing full-time faculty was a good thing because now the Chairs can bring in 'New Blood'. Our Chair even spoke (joyfully) about hiring adjuncts who just have a high school diploma, because she can't find college-educated instructors for many of our courses.
-
Students are showing up for classes and no instructor attends (three different classes on our campus had three different instructors 'no show' for classes this week).
-
When asked if our President, Provost or any Charis have directly questioned DCEH about the blatant disregard for the accreditation requirements, hiring unqualified instructors or the immediate future of the college: No one said a word, not a word, they ALL looked away.
A word of caution to those in the administration (who were not fired), you might find yourselves named as co-conspirators in multiple lawsuits for fraud with the way you are going about doing your 'job'. If you think DCEH won't throw you under the bus at the end of the day you are wrong. You too are complacent in this fraud on the students, pretending you are any better than DCEH is ridiculous.
