Why are any of you so desperate to keep EDMC / brands afloat? How do you justify your allegiance?
Any more info on the restructure?
Comments in yesterday's posts made it seem like there would be new info today. Any news would be appreciated or any dates on when they plan to tell the rest of us about what has been decided.
If you were recently laid off (click here)
This becomes an opportunity for reinvention towards a more fulfilling life path. It may seem like a huge shock at first it will take some time getting used to, but it will eventually bring you closer to your true destiny, if that's what you desire.

Employees working this week?
How does this place expect us to continue working when we have no idea what is going to happen next and when. Just tell us already so we can plan our future

All Ai presidents are attending a meeting today and tomorrow where the june restructure will be revealed to them. Let the leaks begin!
Get ready for CAPs
The heavy hitters from AI are going to be brought into AUO and SUO. If you're underperforming be very worried. They are rehiring people that are seasoned recruiters for the two brands left and cutting the fat. It's simple business, keep working with... — read more
Jump Ship or Drown.
If you are at SUO or AUO and you haven't jumped ship or started to look for another job, then you must be clueless... GET OUT NOW IF YOU CAN... It's always easier to get a job when you have a job... besides you don't want to be looking for a job... — read more

If you are still at Ai or other EDMC schools (and care about students and their families)
Some workers are worried about what they are going to do if/when they are fired. But some are also concerned about students (and their families) who have been misled, lied to, and defrauded. The number of complaints do count. Workers and Students Can... — read more
Is AUO next?
Serious question, is Pittsburgh AUO Online the next in line to get wiped out like the Art Institutes? I have been hearing rumblings, need clarification asap. Please and thank you.
Tim Moscato and Elden Monday have done this before
Does anyone remember what happened at University of Phoenix? The same two people were behind it. So while hundreds lost their jobs today, those two get to continue to keep their paychecks even though they have never shown how to effectively run a... — read more
Is anyone surprised?
As an ex- AIO employee who left of my own accord some time ago, I do feel sorry in some ways for my friends and former coworkers that lost their jobs today. But, I've heard some of them say that they were shocked or surprised that this happened "out... — read more
Clearing up a few things about AIO
There are some stupid and misinformed people. They're not moving operations to Phoenix. AIO has had a Pgh and Phx location for many years. Pgh was always about 30-40 percent larger but for the most part housed similar or even identical positions... — read more
Are the EDMC Online offices now closed in Pittsburgh as in they are leaving the building? The AIP campus
lease is up next April. This doesn't look good for the campus!
Hundreds laid off in Pittsburgh and Phoenix - EDMC ljob cuts are mostly in online division
This is all over the traditional media now... Hundreds of employees at Education Management Corp. in Pittsburgh are losing their jobs as the struggling Downtown company adjusts to enrollment declines at its for-profit colleges. The cuts will affect... — read more
closed the entire Pittsburgh office
I've heard from several former co workers that they closed the entire Pittsburgh office. That would mean that the Phoenix location would be handling all administrative duties etc. I'm surprised we have not read more yet. I don't know how many jobs... — read more

Los Angeles Campus Closing Student Housing
Two of my students shared with me today those residing in housing have been notified via email they must move out by December 2016. Campus housing is no longer available in LA. I do wonder what will happen to these students who rely on campus... — read more
Saw a :30s commercial promoting South University last night during a Network news cast. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. EDMC offers
a Doctor of Divinity degree. With all due respect to Jesus Christ, Moses, Buddha, et al., this has got to be the most callous, ridiculous thing I've ever seen. Any comments? Jokers need not apply.
Layoffs are coming...this is FOR certain but....
do you think there will still be a severance package offered? I should have left months ago but I didn't. These ideas of layoffs are more than just rumors, I overheard our campus president talking about combining schools and positions....
Let's see the perks the GVPs and Campus Presidents get...
EDMC (Specifically Art Institute) is about to lay off hundreds. The goal is to cut costs... Some people's work loads will be tripled or more... others will be rehired at part time status. However those running the schools seem unaffected. See below... — read more
A Petition was started to get rid of the socially awkward Tinley Park Librarian.
She plagiarized articles for the now defunct student newsletter, goes through student's cell phones without asking them, haunts students on their facebook pages (to see if they are talking about her), stalks staff/teachers on LinkedIn, talks... — read more
Moscoto may be stepping down.
Fraud Clown as many if you lovingly refer to him outlined the world of Ai after the june restructuring to a president that has loose lips. Most was what has already been said here however he did mention that Moscoto was out of the picture in july.
