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

Wake up call was heard, but students hit the snooze button.

For the past month all students have been talking about is “show cause” and “transferring while AiP is still accredited.” Now that there is a 3 month extension for the accreditation decision they’re saying, “I’ll just stick with it, take more courses, it’ll all be just fine.”

Ethics, integrity and governance are not areas AiP has any control, these are issues with DCEH that cannot be fixed (or hidden) locally.

Hopefully students are hearing the resounding wake up call. Admissions, academic counselors and faculty have no control and zero input into how the DCEH schools are run. Staff at AU, Ai, and SU would enjoy working with students who wanted an education more than just an easy degree. Standards are dropped to improve admission and retention rates because staff are told to by administrators. Administrators do not have control either, they are given directives by DCEH corporate on the numbers they’re expected to achieve, they do little more than apply metrics and micromanage employees.

In case you missed the wake up call, there is little if any professional potential for you and no continuing educational potential with a degree from Ai if there is no accreditation. There is no personal financial future for you if you graduate from a program with a high debt to earning ratio and does not meet Federal Gainful Employment guidelines.

Former students on the I Am Ai Facebook page can share their problems buying homes, cars, even getting married because of their debt and inability to pay it off. Some can’t even get transcripts anymore because the school is closed.

It does not matter how many classes you have taken or if you think you are graduating soon, if you school is currently accredited do whatever it takes to get into another school while your credits will transfer.

If you have to stay in an online school, there’s is no shortage of them, you may have to change majors, but that will be much better than spending and more time or money on a worthless degree.

Run.... it’s a SCAM

"Get off your asses and quit being lazy a-- sloths."

And that goes double for all the student loving three toed sloth hypocrite facillitators to boot.

You only get good students by treating employees well. DCEH wants to create a unified “One University”, but all I see is a toxic swamp. I stopped caring after leading my departments KPI’s and creating a great student experience only to be told that “your pay is being reduced”. I give DCEH 1-2 years and it’s gone ... and so am I.

If administration cared about students, they would stick with a core set of full-time faculty and that's that. Students: Either graduate before accreditation is revoked or start a degree program somewhere else before all you have left to instruct you is the janitor. What?? He's gone too??
