Admissions brought in students that should have never been in school. They could barely write a complete sentence. Admissions, you got what you deserved. Good luck getting used car sales jobs
Only a low-grade human being would consciously enroll someone into an online class who doesn’t have a computer. You might as well sell someone a car who can’t get a drivers license
Take a look at the student demographics, and graduation rates, let them speak for themselves
'Educating the single moms and ghetto trash' unbelievable -- truly only a low grade human would make such a comment. If you are in education - go someplace else
PCI would be a good fit. The instuctors are interchangeable and their former president used to be the president of AIP.
Cut it out these folks aren’t black or white. They are green
Well known university in Pittsburgh that wants an EDMC school.......... Pittsburgh Career Institite... Educating the single moms and ghetto trash since 2017!
That fake out was always the last ditch effort to appear kinder and gentler by the absolute scoundrels.
Cue the thumbs down, who gives a sh--.
Nice to be hopeful. But moving an existing set of programs to another school isn’t just changing the page title. Creating a new major or changing a curriculum takes years, it has to go through state doe and whatever states the online program will legally operate. Even if it was quick, there’s a lot to consider. The curriculum has to match or be revised to meet the existing school’s, faculty wouldn’t just move to the new school, they’d have to be hired, students couldn’t just move to the new school, they’d have to reapply and meet the criteria of the school. Many at Ai came in with low gpa and no ACT or SAT scores. They weren’t needed for Ai but are for most other schools.
Nice thought. I’d gladly support a move to a university but don’t feel it’s plausible with a March 31 closing date, it’d take longer than 2 months to put together.
Love Chatham -but they are not a good fit anyway - even if it wasn't a 'cancer'
Chatham doesn’t want this cancer
Which "well known university" in Pittsburgh?
I love how its always about 'who' cares about the students. What a cop-out, no one cared about these students when they were being ripped off. All of a sudden, when predicted failure of for-profit education rears its ugly head everyone all of a sudden 'cares' about students. So tired of this fake nonsense. Close them down, give them refunds and let them go to reputable State schools that report to the CITIZENS and not private equity/profiteers. That's the difference between for-profit vs. State, States can't just bail anonymously into the night like these thieves do EVERYDAY!
Good chance school will be saved, at least the students. Supposedly 3 buyers lined up. Only one stopping this is middle states. We will see how much they truly care about students. One of the prospective buyers is a well known university in Pittsburgh .
How you say scumbags?
