We all know it's just a matter of time. I'm thinking the few that are still left standing will also go down within six months - and that's me being very generous.
I just hope that when it's all said and done, those in charged who caused all this mess actually see at least some consequences. But I highly doubt that'll happen.
Ai is like gas station sushi - it went went bad a long time ago and instead of tossing it, the gas station attendants just watched it rot in the hopes someone would eventually buy it
Get back in you straight jacket, The kool aids been gone for a while Ignatz.
All staff will be hired back by studio. They are the service provider. This will help with the ridiculous salaries paid to admissions and career services.
Not one mention of the students in your self-pitying bath of tears. You want consideration and mercy from road kill that never gave anything near consideration to those who actually signed your paycheck with years of debt ahead of them for a worthless piece of paper, if that.
Did you really expect in the end not to snookered? Welcome to the financial nightmare. Now get back into your indebted Mercedes SUV and ride off into the sunset of ignominy. Boo Hoo.
Like plz I gave an ai sixteen years as an exemplary faculty member only to be unceremoniously shown the door in a layoff. After stages of grief we’ve gone through, watching the final implosion does feel “good” if sad at the suffering for all the people who cared and are damaged. And this board is one of the only places to get data. The public silence about this collapse is beyond bizarre. When Brightwood closed in December it was all over the TV News.
Idk what to think anymore. I certainly don't trust this "education principle foundation." Everyone is being so secretive about anything.
I don't even think EPF has a real plan in place to save AI. All I know is that I can't keep lying to these students who are asking me questions about whether the school will stay open or not. I haven't called any students today, I'm done.
Today will most likely be it for me.
You're crazy and delusional and it's long past boring.
i would venture probably by the end of 2019, if not sooner. After 14 years of excellent instruction and placement for my department I am sad but more angry at the greed of the owner's and upper management that caused this. I'm out now, but still check this board from time to time to witness the disintegration.
I guess I got schooled in late stage capitalism as a learning moment. We done got Bained.
@-njx That's true! Not only is there no receptionist, we no longer have a career services staff member or an enrollment processor. It's pathetic.
Does anyone know how the Atlanta campus is doing?
I'd give it less than that. Students are dropping left and right. And when I left, there was hardly any faculty either. And now I hear there isn't even a receptionist at the gallery. Talk about zero student support. It's sad.
That's a good question. I know the thinking behind leaving some AIs open was that some campuses are actually profitable. I used to teach at one of those "profitable" campuses (Ai VB).
Let me tell you profitable isn't saying much. The only reason that campus is still open is because it's located in an area with a high military population. AiVB practically survives off of the GI Bill and veterans benefits.
By the time I left, it was a ghost town. I'd give that campus another year, tops.
