Thread regarding DeVry Inc. layoffs

That's all she wrote. Frankly, one expected more...

Adtalem Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the transition of DeVry University (DVU) to Cogswell Education is complete. Cogswell Education owns Cogswell College, the second oldest operating college in California, and a regionally accredited institution offering bachelor’s degrees as well as certificate programs.

This successful transition enables DVU to further pursue its growth strategy and academic goals, and provides colleagues and faculty a fresh start, while maintaining a focus on students and their ability to achieve their career goals. We’re confident the Cogswell team will continue to serve and empower students well into the future, and we thank both DVU and Adtalem colleagues for their diligence and hard work in preparing for this transition.

In addition, on behalf of our Adtalem and DeVry University leadership teams, we want to emphasize how grateful we are for our long history together. DeVry University created the foundation of what is today Adtalem Global Education, and this letter cannot adequately convey the depth of our appreciation for each colleague who contributed to our organization over the years, positively impacting the lives of our students.

We are confident that DeVry University has a bright future as it builds on its progress and expertise in delivering tech-forward, career-focused education, and look forward to the next chapter in the institution’s storied history.

Warm regards,

Lisa W. Wardell James Bartholomew

President and CEO President, DeVry University

If LH follows, I'm all for it! I'm sure some company looking for an un-supportive micro manager. would love to hire her!

I think it is stipulated in the agreement that the senior executives would be relieved of their duties once the ownership is transferred. JB will most likely be gone. Maybe RP could come back as Chief Something Officer of Cogswell Education and restart his a-- Projects again.

If management goes, I pray that Burks, Zorek, and Hughes are at the top of the list.

Perhaps the environment will be less fraught. Perhpas Cogswell will be positively constructive in evolving DVU forward. It could hardly be more treacherous than Adtalem....right? I believe from this date, full-time faculty have 3 months of security--is that still right?
