Thread regarding DeVry Inc. layoffs

yes....why is Devry spending money to move Gurnee or Merrillville? WASTE OF $$$!! Why is Elgin open??? OHare???? DeVry wants to keep centers in the Chicagoland area open because it is in the backyard of HO. There will be more layoffs! Also, rumor has it that we are going to be sold. That is why Devry Education Group name was change to Adtalem. Adtalem will sell DeVry. Did you notice that Devry Brasil is not Adtalem Brasil? It's because Brasil is making $$ and they don't want it associated with DeVry so they can just sell DeVry university. Why did they not get a president after Rob Paul They put JB in there as a place holder until DeVry is sold.

ITS A FACT!

Trying to make themselves sound more stable they are. To me that sounds like a way to keep their stock prices inflated because they have all these buildings and square feet of educational space which is actually just empty space.

1iee:

the former BS'er in chief mentioned once that devry wasn't keen on shutting down campuses outright as that triggered a complete wipe out of their online share from that region (cited their spectacular decision of shutting campuses down in 2015). so it does look like that they want to keep these buildings around but hollow them out of any capability of actually running a legit on-site academic operation. it doesn't make any sense to me but gives an indication of their (effed up) thinking perhaps.

Moving the center we barely use...it sounds like you might be talking about Gurnee. Did anyone else notice how little of the new floorplan was used for classrooms? It's like they're admitting that they don't expect to have many classes there, so why go through the expense of moving and remodeling? What do they hope to gain by that? Maybe it's just a public show to convince people that DVU has a future.

It is my firm belief that it is age discrimination. Most of the people left or in charge or under 50!

Valid

That's true, we have open open faculty positions too and they have been open and unfilled for several months at least. So why did we terminate the few people we had in those same positions? Those we terminated had decades of experience so maybe their salaries were too high. But if we terminated them based on age with the intention of replacing them with others who are younger and cheaper, isn't that age discrimination? Grounds for yet another law suit?
