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

Let's all talk about how great the admins are. Provide examples everyone!

JC is so nice that she's not announcing to faculty, staff, or students that AIO will be shuttered at the end of March until after the deadline for students to withdraw in time to get refunds for the current session.

JC is so nice that she lets the newspaper tell her worried faculty and staff the real story.

The OP is wrong about the Karma bus picking her up. It should be running her over and then backing back over here and repeating that sequence over and over.

Case in point...... an newspaper article is published today indicating that Pittsburgh will close at the end of March. Has JC or any other admin tried to do damage control and confirm or deny the report. Why are employees learning of this from a newspaper article and not from the mouths of their wonderfully caring leaders?

OP here, I have a new full-time job and several adjunct positions. I'm not hurting for employment. ....but I don't ever forget those who made me hurt. Sorry, just not the forgiving type. May JC, MF, JK, and DB burn in eternal damnation.

The at-distance, on-line, full-time faculty weren't typically aware of the corruption going on for years. I taught there for a decade and never even knew how much students paid to take classes or that they were unemployable until much later in my tenure at the Art Institute.

While you call can protect these administrators as much as you want, anyone that had direct dealings with them knows what the OP speaks is true. Maybe the folks saying they had nothing to do with it were favored by them, but even if they were "forced" to fire certain folks, they certainly showed no emotion when they dropped the blade.

....and, oh, yes, let us be grateful when we go from making $60K a year to struggling to get them to give us one adjunct course and make a couple thousand bucks here and there. Thank you Supreme Leader JC! May I lick your boots now.

You folks supported JC, MF, JK, and DB are brain-washed automatons.

So they kept you ft as long as they could, then even brought you back pt afterward. Wow! You seem pretty ungrateful.

Every business goes through layoffs at times. What makes you so special?

Agreed, eak. Careful with the karma...Not only have we known for years the schools were in trouble but many of us have wrestled with the moral dilemma of teaching here knowing a lot of students were spending a lot of money and weren't that talented. Sure, I have gone with the mantra of I am helping those who are talented get better and maybe even making those who aren't a bit better or finding another direction. But, let's get real... aren't we are all just a bit complicit in all of this?

Do yourself a favor, the time you spend here writing these hate filled diatribes could better be served crafting your resume and networking. I was once a FT faculty member too and now an adjunct. It was the best thing to happen to me to start to let go of the hold and negativity this place has had on me for many, many, years.

Be careful throwing that karma word around. We've all known for a long time (2012) that these schools were in trouble and unfortunately that means people are going to be let go. It's not easy to be in a high position at any of these institutions and watch people lose their jobs. Believe it or not, those "miserable excuses for living organisms" don't always have a say in how things are handled. It's not easy to be in a position like that, but it appears you are only concerned with salary. You could sit up there, collect that big fat salary, let go of people left and right without any say, and see how great it feels. Being a true leader isn't always glorious, even with a big fat salary.

Amen
