Hiring entertainer Steve Harvey and co-sponsoring the Joe Gibbs racing team? Where is Strayer getting the dough for this?

Anyone?

anybody know if the layoffs at Strayer are due to business deteriorating or is this a normal pattern every year?

Worst company. Massive global lay offs. They have given every member of our family one more reason to vote for Obama--their biggest fear is him winning the upcoming election. If Obama wins, they will continue to be exposed for another 4 yrs.

I completely agree. It is not a good place to work. All they care about is money, but not the students or employees. The higher ups are so out of touch with the employees and students, and it is pathetic.
