Middle States informed the faculty and staff of Ai Philly that the DOE has informed Dream Center that NO student from ANY closing Ai may be enrolled in Ai online. So they have FORCED all these students to online and now have to tell the students its no longer an option. Per middle states, DCEH has been aware of this for at least thr last week!

Last week this was said by the Middle States accreditation group visiting AiP, AiO is not an option for students from closing campuses. This was stated by AiP director and AiO dean today during a meeting but they added until just cause is removed. They have until August 31 to send a report to Middle States and they will make a decision and report back by November 15.
Dear Middle States, if you couldn’t tell from your visit at AiP since AiO faculty were silenced, and not too many AiP faculty spoke up, this is how faculty are treated at Ai, “online employees were strictly told not to say AiO -- it's AiPOD”. Faculty are not part of the conversation or decisions being made, they are told “strictly” what they can and cannot say or do.
Next time you’re at AiP/AiO ask to see the latest faculty handbook, faculty are not allowed to talk about anything related to the business of Ai, it is an offense worthy of termination. That is why faculty could not contact MS or tell students about the accreditation warning or the newer just cause.
President M sent us all an email saying they would be telling students, check to see if all students have received notification of MS actions. I don’t think you’ll be surprised in what you find.
“online employees were strictly told not to say AiO -- it's AiPOD”
We’ve actually heard the dean’s lackey M “I’d love to put Care Bears in every Presentation” F say that exact thing in many many meetings.
Maybe AiO admin is starting to troll thelayoff.com and someone hit a nerve.
-- online employees were strictly told not to say AiO -- it's AiPOD -- as per admin several months ago -- AiPOD has always been under the jurisdiction of AiP and it's accreditation for a long time.
According to Middle States, AiP and AiO are one in the same, AiP is accredited and allowed to offer online courses. AiO is nothing without AiP to Middle States.
One statement from the Middle State reps, since they found out through the media that campus classes will be transferring to online for degree completion, AiO MUST be able to accept students from ALL states and cited Iowa not allowing AiO. We all also know, Oregon will not allow AiO to operate in their state.
Will AiP lose accreditation because some states will not allow AiO to operate in their area?

Does anyone think AiP and AiO administrators will be honest with Middle States?
They all kept very quiet when confronted by Middle States visitors yesterday. They could have told MS at the meeting when they were scolding faculty for not keeping students informed that admissions, advisors and faculty are not allowed to discuss any of “show cause” or accreditation warning with students.
Ummmm..... my closing school is currently transferring students to online only (as recently as today)
If Middle States is saying no for real, people need to step up with proof.
This was confirmed at the AiP meeting 8/9/18, not that Middle States has the power to stop it, but they have the authority to pull AiP accreditation if the online programs are not accepted in all 50 states and DC.
Hysterical.... Be boo be boop.
I will take classes online..... derrrrrrr
I will obey........
1maz the facts of the call are the facts, believe the message is real or not, don’t care, it’s true... You are right, in the sense that online is the only viable option... If that goes under, remaining on ground campuses will definitely be toast.
Have to call this total BS since there is no verification.
Online is the ONLY viable option since all of the campuses will become tech training centers.
It’s true... waiting the results of accreditation... Don’t want to displace displaced students, but also don’t want to cause mass panic; therefore, nothing sent out in writing
"Interesting"
I know chair that uses that term all the damn time lol
Must have been said verbally - interesting - so students don't even know yet - why would Middle States talk with Faculty and Staff with Ai Philly and not with Ai Pittsburgh..or any of the other schools --weird --
I really hope this is true because it will ruin everything DCEH is hoping to maneuver around with the horrible roll out of the "Cease Enrollment" notice last month.
If they can't funnel students to online that hits their bank account hard.
It is confirmed, however widespread communication was intentionally NOT distributed.
Communication has not been made to students as of now.
Post proof - I believe you but have to see the source
Proof please. Letter, email, URL?
WTF... David Halperin... please get on this story.
Is this for real ?
The website still says students at closing schools can go Online...
