What is the fate of the bookstores?

Any news on the fate of the bookstores?

Which Ai in Texas are you referring to? I heard all HS reps in Dallas were let go so I am wondering if that is the same for all TX schools.

Pittsburgh lost all high school reps

The chairs of graphic and web, fashion, and I believe media arts and animation were all let go on the education end. Bookstore and director of accounting are gone. Readmissions stayed. AiP

Everyone hired in admissions in the last 6 months were let go of.

Any faculty let go?

AiP is Ai Pittsburgh

is AiP Phoenix or Philadelphia?

If its accredited through ACICS, probably makes sense. Brown-Mackie accredited through AI, so if they tanked, AI is next.

Here at a Texas Ai, we lost all department directors with the exception of admissions, three program chairs, two high school reps, and two full-time faculty members. Surprisingly, all admissions staff on campus is safe. Other campuses I have spoken with lost roughly the same positions.

Anyone on warning got let go and also managers from financial aid career services and student services
