Thread regarding DeVry Inc. layoffs

The Higher Education Assembly Line

Management signals workers an organization's true values and priorities. What values and priorities are online managers signalizing to their faculty? And how does this play out in the classroom and in decisions by faculty and staff?

@12oywC7P-2zki this article is why DeVry will NEVER be a school but will remain a predatory corporation offering next to nothing in terms of learning while at the same time enriching its owners. DeVry fits the definition of a sociopath perfectly:

Doesn’t respect social norms or laws. They consistently break laws or overstep social boundaries.
Lies, deceives others, uses false identities or nicknames, and uses others for personal gain.
Doesn’t make any long-term plans. They also often behave without thinking of consequences.
Shows aggressive or aggravated behavior. They consistently get into fights or physically harm others.
Doesn’t consider their own safety or the safety of others.
Doesn't follow up on personal or professional responsibilities. This can include repeatedly being late to work or not paying bills on time.
Doesn’t feel guilt or remorse for having harmed or mistreated others.

DH’s profile states, as an example of “organic” growth:

DeVry online from $25M to $250M in 2 years
  • that’s not organic, it’s an order of magnitude. Wanna know what happened to whatever quality was left at DeVry before he took over? Look no further. Short-term profiteering to make himself look good. The rest of his profile tells the same story at other locations. I have nothing against profit, but running roughshod through your customers, employees, and market in the name of short-term growth hurts everyone involved except the person generating “organic” growth. Resume might as well say: “exploited customers and employees (especially) faculty for short term profit”...wouldn’t make a difference to the kinds of people who would hire him....
