Thread regarding Dream Center Education Holdings, LLC (DCEH) layoffs

Ai will probably involve the most change

This is from a March 2017 article, Ai was never of interest to Dream Center:

Schools that will retain their independent boards of trustees, staff and faculty as they become acquired by the Dream Center Foundation include South University, Argosy University and Western State College of Law at Argosy.

"South University is very well run and is a high quality institution as is Argosy and the law school," said Randall Barton, managing director of Dream Center Foundation. "The Art Institutes will probably involve the most change."

Those changes include hiring a new Art Institutes provost as well as program changes to respond to a recent federal warning. Ten of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh's programs failed a new federal test aimed at measuring whether their vocational programs' typical graduates make enough money to handle paying off student debt.

"Although nonprofits are not subject to gainful employment," Barton said, "we want every degree to lead to a good job."

Hey! That’s my line. LOL

We’re not at an immediately closing campus (I am sure no Ai including AiO will be around past 12/31/18 - calling it). No one willing to address any of this here, business as usual, classes scheduled as usual, a few new adjunct applications and a few new students already from a closing Ai.

Students really are not getting it, if DCEH can casually close down 20 campuses without blinking, pulling degree granting programs to replace them with “vocational software training” (that most nonprofits do in community center basements), the other campuses are not going to be here long, DCEH is just getting (stealing) student money at this point, credits aren’t transferable to any reputable school, degrees will be worthless if anyone actually graduates again.

Another day another dollar for DCEH.

I called it back then that the schools would be going through what is currently happening. I was told I was wrong. So this makes me feel better. I knew it!
