Post your bets now, folks. Who’s headed out the door and which doors are closing? I honestly am not expecting much this session until Cogswell completes acquisition...but you never know....

Only the dedicated and hard working people are getting fired, the "academic" pretenders who hardly work or know anything are managing to keep their jobs!
4 down?
4 down-4 to go
it would be great if the former president and toy aficionado extraordinaire of dv were to apply to become ceo of cogswell.
Cogswell College is owned by Palm Ventures - http://www.palmventures.com/talent/

In 2010 Cogswell was acquired by Palm Ventures, a private equity firm. https://www.revolvy.com/main/index.php?s=Cogswell%20College&item_type=topic
Cogswell Education was listed as an investment on the website of Palm Ventures, a small private equity firm that owns other for-profit schools. But the investment had been removed from the company's website as of Tuesday. Neither Palm Ventures or Cogswell responded to requests for comment from BuzzFeed News.

That means the real owner is Palm Ventures - Wall Street folks that turn it all online to make $.
Has the transition been finalized? I thought there were details they were still working out
Stupid is stupid.
No, stupid is as stupid does, and life is like a box of chocolates. Any other wisdom for us, Forest?
NO one works for Cogswell College
Clearly, someone does. Or you should tell these people that they are living under some sort of delusion: https://cogswell.edu/academics/faculty/ Are they all contractors?
Interestingly, neither Cogswell nor DeVry appear currently on the Palm Ventures website. Exits does currently list Heald College and IEC (United Education Institute).
where?
Firings are happening. Quietly. Open your eyes fellow colleagues. The writing is on the wall. In big block letters.
an autopsy...in ten parts...

Stupid is stupid. NO one works for Cogswell College - DeVry was given to Palm Ventures. It's an investment firm that buys for-profit schools and fixes or tears apart. If you want to know if you have a job look at the website under Exit strategies. If DeVry is listed one day the place is closing.
http://www.palmventures.com/ - These guys will most likely close all campuses and it's ALL going online to make $.
