"Advice to Management"
"I worked at DeVry University for two years and the first 6 months was okay. However doesn't align with my educational philosophy. This university is very numbers based. There is no sense of care for what the students want and their concerns, such as ensuring their financial aid will cover their enrollment and allowing the time to explain this to a student versus having them be rushed and drop courses with expensive consequences. There is good portion of students who come from low socioeconomic status who are targeted and have no idea how title IV works and that they have to pay back loans and how dropping a course can result in a balance. Many of the students that I worked with saw the university as a bank in which they could get a large credit balance to pay for their personal needs while not having any motivation to continue in their education, but doing the bare minimum to ensure they can continue to receive money. However, management only cares about enrollment numbers and decreasing account receivables and nothing in between, they don't care about putting the the time to properly educate students on their understanding of finances and academics. If something is rushed in any business model doesn't work for the long run. There is such a negative association with this university I wouldn't even send my children here for free. It is amazing the level of distaste that this university has left and if only students knew the amount of misadvisement with their financial and academic accounts that happens much of which is not their fault."
