It's not a conspiracy theory or even a secret. Zenith is winding down the online programs. The number of online students is decreasing on a near daily basis. We have less than 4,000 online students now and that number is steadily shrinking. There are more empty desks than employees and there have been numerous "visitors" who have come to tour the office space over the last few months. Online is closing and the remaining online students will be assigned to one of the remaining campuses that is not already in teach out. I don't know the exact date, but don't plan on an office Christmas party this year. I don't think we will even be around for Halloween. To the remaining hard working employees, make sure to have your resume up to date and don't count on a nice severance package. Let this be an example to all of you- when you work for a shady company, you can expect shady treatment. Not all of you are bad people, but this company preys on poor, disadvantaged students.

@1asw - Agreed! This is a good post but these f---ing idiots arguing about grammar are getting way off topic. I wouldn't be surprised if these idiots were Zenith managers trying to interrupt our discussion.
People are losing jobs, student are drowning in debt with worthless degrees, and we are arguing over punctuation. Amazing.....
Agree with the reviews of the current program dean's. One who always writes..."Thanks for all you do..."
What new marketing are you talking about?
@Grammar police: don't throw stones in a glass house! Let's review your own grammar issues, shall we.
"Come on, people, you're in education, for God's sake?"
First, a question mark is used only when asking a question. This sentence is clearly not a question.
Second, a comma is correctly used when you have transitional words after them to continue the sentence. Otherwise a semicolon is appropriate, or a period and beginning a separate sentence. To do as you did is a run-on sentence.
Ergo, either of the following would be correct:
"Come on, people; you're in education, for God's sake!"
or
"Come on, people. You're in education, for God's sake."
We should all be ready....new marketing proves we are ALL closing soon.
To @IT9WdtN-ohp,
I assume you are one of the super star Associate Deans we have in online. More worried about a grammar mistake than pushing unqualified students through. Nothing changes.
Sorry,
But its about time. The Associate deans I worked with a couple years ago are still there and they are an embarrassment to education. One marketing major gets by through stabbing in the back and another was worthless. They need to move on to 7-11 or maybe Target, where they can use any bathroom.
So online probably needs to go, so the students can find a better college to attend.
In case you misread it the first time, here it is again: F--- you!
Evidently, we have anger issues as well as the IQ of a toad, or troll, whichever...
Check the spelling of this: FU
Grammar police: "There are a few more surprises..." Come on, people, you're in education, for God's sake? No wonder the industry is failing!
There's a few more surprises coming that really shouldn't surprise anyone. Fall enrollment numbers are far below budget for many schools, so there will be more closings and consolidations. The WyoTech enrollments are looking pitiful with no hope of improvement until June 2017.
Everest School will be next.
