I used the Sach's take-over as a point of reference. I didn't say they were still nominally in charge.

This is an organization that considers faculty liabilities rather than assets.

Since the Sachs take-over of EDMC, the number of spineless yes-men within the ranks of administration has increased and become an intolerable problem. Most of these "goons" as 1ulo so artfully phrased it, come from outside the arts and have no real understanding of their departments and certainly no idea of what it takes to make it in industry.

So the online division is not alone. Their problem is a systemic one for EDMC. The result is what we see now; failed curricula, ruined schools, and shattered lives.

I'm an AR for AIO and the nail in the coffin for me was when they fired Jordan. Very few managers actually care about us and Jordan put his ARs and their students as his top priority. The day he was let go was the day I started applying elsewhere.

Hoesntly, online is doomed because of directors and their bosses. When the new girl took over and started hiring other ground campus goons that just did what they were told, it sealed the deal for online. I am looking at tomorrow being my last day and not giving any notice. I am sick and tired of this bullsh*t. We have a start today and the entire floor is going to miss our plan by a good amount. Managers and above are starting to panic...

Why haven't I heard anything? I guess they'll hold onto online adjuncts until the bitter end since we cost them almost nothing.
