Just wondering. Would Ai teachers consider a wildcat strike? How about a sit in? At the very least, can you organize a teach-in?
What do you have to lose?

No point in a walk out or sit in, they’ll replace you in a heartbeat. You won’t be missed.
For every remaining faculty there’s 2 dozen who were just laid off. Replacement faculty are a dime a dozen, if that. Plus if accreditation is a none issue students and bs graduates can fill in.
2zbd- We used to say EDMC would eliminate all faculty if they could. Now DCEH is following that plan. If you don’t grant accredited degrees you don’t need real faculty. Just throw all classes online, use bots or grading software, or if you bother with an on ground presence, turn it into “ certificates” then you can just combine admissions and faculty into one position. You bring in the mark, then are his or her only instructor thoughout! Twisted genius, more profit! Let us pray...
@Broom Closet Education Holdings, you may be right about their indifference to instructors. But they cannot have a school without them. They can try to replace them with others, but it might not be that easy to replace them. FYI: There is a place on Facebook for adjuncts called Con Job.
Cam, not sure if you’ve picked this up yet THEY DONT GIVE A FCK ABOUT THE INSTRUCTORS.
Now if ENROLLMENT did a sit in, that would ruffle some feathers. But when you hire someone with fast food experience and a high school diploma... and give them $45,000 to dial a phone, that’s a tough sell.
Too many a-- kissers would ruin it. There is always someone willing to bend over for the sales people.
Like mvm said, they wouldn't even care. ...and sit out long enough and they'll just fire you.
Dip #%!? Day!!!
Greed is good
Friggin Dip day....... enough said
It would just be a waste of time - they don't care and are not going to do anything to appease anyone but themselves.
Thanks for the thought though
No of course not. This is not a social cause. It is a corporation and we are just employees who serve to pull off the fraud of taking taxpayer dollars. We are all wisely spending our time looking for new jobs. The leadership spends their time trying to distract from the fraud. Latest examples are coloring books! Pink day! Backwards day! Spirit day. And the newest is Dip Day Distraction. Bring your crockpots. The absurdity drowns out the fraud.
