How did things get so out of hand with nobody noticing - or noticing and then doing nothing about it? Everybody got screwed over in this - faculty, staff and students. This is a lot of people we are talking about.
And who wants to bet that when it is all said and done, nobody will actually face any consequences for what happened here?
This company has been dying for 9 years. Employees get constantly walked out the door and Everyone has heard the stories of managers sleeping around with subordinates. No one should be surprised with losing their jobs. Slow starts slowing to a halt. If you can’t wrestle a student into starting into a make believe school, how can you keep the lights on ?
Typo on the first response.
It should have been NOT driven by remote control.

Good schools need to be personal and NOT driven by remote control from some far off bunker. :P

This was about 7 or so years in the making. That writing was on the wall for years and years. This didn’t just happen overnight.
@OP, are you kidding? I have been posting on the EDMC and Art Institute layoff sites for years. And David Halpern has been documenting it for years at the Republic Report (reprinted at the Huffington Post).
It was noticed. Nobody wanted to listen to the faculty and admin on the ground.

Warning sign was raised when Edmc filed bk for 32 schools in June
The point is simply this: don't attempt to equate your self imposed job plight with those of the students. As you say, you knew the deal but you stayed hoping you'd weasel out of the inevitable. Leave the students out of it. They've been used and abused enough.

Was this really all of a sudden? I mean for months they were cutting back faculty, programs, locations, leads, and staffing. Since last year this was in motion, it may s--- but to call it sudden requires one to ignore everything going on around you.
All of a sudden you relate to the students. Welcome to the pain funnel. Too little, too late.
