Where is South now? Asking for a friend :-)
Thank you Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale
2018 is the 50th anniversary of AIFL and today the last graduating class walked across the stage. Over 100 talented students received their degrees and diplomas. It was a happy ending to a sad down turn of events. The campus is closing tomorrow... — read more
Admissions
What is the difference between an Admissions Representative from the Art Institutes and a politician? One is the most crooked, dishonest, deceitful beings on the planet and the other is a politician. Change my mind.
Class action lawsuit?
Rather than reading all the comments again, figure I would just start a new thread. Is there already a class action lawsuit for staff members who haven't been paid and for benefits not received?
For the admissions budget question that got deleted
At the height of our budgets in 2013, it ranged from 2 to 6 million per year, per location. Includes salaries, marketing, mailroom, supplies, events, etc. Problem was that the corporate management thought that throwing more ADAs at the problem... — read more
Who Do You Blame?
Let's hold people accountable, it's ok to say names. So let's have it out, who do you blame? I'll go first. I blame Admissions at each and every Art Institute. Not real student affairs practitioners. Dishonest. Den of Thieves. You all ought to be... — read more
2019 W2's

DCEH W2 Form
How do we get W2 forms if we are not with DCEH any more? I still do not have my W2 form and I am still at the same address.
Is there anything left of DCEH?
I'm curious, will any of the schools still be open in 2020 or have all closed?
Call to action
It’s been months now and I’m not seeing that any kind of action has been taken to hold these crooks responsible. The Receiver is getting his pay day but thousands of faculty and employees are still owed money. Not to mention the unpaid medical bills... — read more

unpaid bill- July 2018

Aetna Insurance Not Covering All Claims Prior to /1/19
