Is it too late for Devry instructors and staff to consider organizing? I probably brought this up years ago, when it may have made a bigger difference, and when more people cared about the school. Art Institutes had some union membership, in New York... — read more 

What is the culture like at online services in Naperville now? Have there been layoffs? Have benefits changed since things switched to Cogswell?

All is ominously quiet as the fiscal year ends. What news?

I think the ship is really going down as it "seems" that the scheduling has increasingly less and less sections to offer online and there are many many payroll rats vying for those sections. So now the scheduling looks like a ship on which the rats... — read more
