At least ten temps showed up on Monday to start at DeVry Online in Admissions in Naperville. The speculation is that they must have laid off a bunch of people in the Admissions department. Can anyone confirm this is what happened? It seems strange ... it used to be that as long as you had even a little sales aptitude, you could get hired for a permanent position in Admissions at DVU Online.

Why is Lisa taking all this credit (see the last earnings call)? What's she really done besides settle the FTC lawsuit? Most of the stock's move is due to incorrect notion that Trump will help the industry. He won't. Cutting tuition, re-investing in education will. Lisa never talks to that.

Then aren't the investors being short sighted?!? Isn't this what helped trigger the implosion at ITT Tech and Corinthian? How come this CEO NEVER talks about improving the learning experience or outcomes?

How is Devry cutting so much cost like this? To listen to the CEO or CFO makes it sounds like there is boundless cost cutting potential, and the investors never seem to ask if student learning or outcomes are being jeopardized. It is really bizarre.
Are any so-called students still signing up for more classes? Why? The remaining employees should discourage it.
They have posted a bunch of job openings on external job searching sites. I had to swim past them all to get a job at a decent place. No way would I ever come back to devry.
They might need some more folks to handle the inquiries for the Sep-Oct start.
