Thread regarding Education Management Corporation layoffs

Word is there closing down one of the online headquarters real soon.

. Since there is only Pittsburgh and Phoenix apparently it is much cheaper to run the program from Phoenix that from Pittsburgh with the local tax structures. Pittsburgh people will be given the opportunity to transfer to Phoenix if there's any open positions. Then shut down

Clint looks like a human-sized Oompa Loompa. That is all.

Gav is the main reason Argosy is sinking, now they send him to Phx . Not sure I understand the logic. I guess he needs a new batch of women to stalk.

Nope, just interesting how rumors that seem to have merit never come to fruition.

No this has to have some merit to it. If you are an AR make sure to ask your manager to see if you can pry for any details.

I don't see speculation from the outside being as specific.

How does one find out this information? Does the person that starts the thread actually work for the company or is it just speculation from the outside? I am just curious as to how legit this information is.

Anyone currently employed by the Pittsburgh online division should probably start rethinking their options if they are not down to relocate.

There has been talk of moving Aio out of Pittsburgh for years. A few years ago it was discussed that it would be moved to Atlanta. Current rumor is credible.

AIO can run its headquarters from anywhere really, just because the accreditation is through Middle States doesn't mean they won't reduce to a minimal presence at the Pittsburgh offices. And this isn't about the entire AI operation, just Online. And its been my experience that they only are true to the letter of the law in most cases.

Hey, 539, http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/they-re It's interesting (and a bit aggravating) to note how much poor grammar, spelling and use of language occurs in this, a supposed "educational" forum. It points out one of the chief flaws in the design and conception of the business model: poorly educated people involved in the business of education. Top that off with the proud arrogance in their ignorance and you have a recipe for disaster, such as what we see happening now.

The accreditation has nothing to do with where AR's are recruiting from. What do the actual online "degrees" say now - Phoenix? Well there you have it. Physical location of the AR's are of no relevance or impact so that does not mean Pittsburgh won't shut down.

Gee. AIO never changed accreditation before have they??? They change it every time there is trouble. Stay tuned.

It might be cheaper to run the online school in Phoenix, but AiO's accreditation is through the Middle States accrediting body which only deals with PA. So, unless they want to try to get the online school accredited through a different body, it probably won't happen.

Pittsburgh is too expensive and the source of a lot of bad press. Phoenix is easier to hide away in.

So basically they would close argosy, AI, South, doc processing, recovery, and Pit HR in Pittsburgh and move everything to Arizona? What's the source for this? It's one of those rumors that's a little too specific to be out of no where.

I heard this as a rumor but this will not start until after the holidays. Then Pittsburgh center should start to downsize, until it is entirely closed down by the Spring and the Phoenix center will be expanded.
