DeVry Online Services just got restructured and laid off 20 people. No one is safe! Does this poke holes in the rumor that DeVry is becoming an online school?

I was one of those laid off, from the onsite side, after 9 years as full-time professor. With five rounds of layoffs and two major restructurings in two years, DeVry is crashing. My suspicion is that the new administration, all of whom are finance people rather than education people, is sprucing up DeVry in the US to sell it. Within a year there will b 0 full-time professors, and within 2 years there will be no more DeVry University.
Malee is over dos now
I think Steve Riehs was recently moved to lead DOS. If he is calling the shots then these types of questionable decisions will continue to happen. Riehs is a sarcastic disengaged leader who believes he knows all. I have never worked with a more unlikeable person.
I just don't understand the restructure. Mike Malee is over admissions? He has no admissions experience. The most people he has managed is like 3, now he has like 3-4 whole departments under him. I didn't see a job posting for that position. Mark buck to chamberlain with Brandon ohms given free reign now to be a class act screw up. What are we thinking?
Devry online is a glorified call center that does not care about students. Ann grube is a witch and the new departmenthead agnam memeti is a profit Nazi. If you thought the situation is bad now just wait until he takes full control. Do NOT waste your financial aid funds in this diploma mill!!!!!
The managers they let go were worthless anyway and did nothing all day
