Any new new?
You got a Business Degree from THAT school? The one defaulted on it's creditors? NEXT!
Regardless of how this plays out, it's an embarrassment now to say you have a degree from the failed EDMC schools, especially a business degree.
Prepare for the coming crash
It's yet another week without an Earnings Report. It appears EDMC may wait until the last day to issue the report. Lots of information have been made public already, including the deal with its major debtor KKR. When the report does come out, it will... — read more
There is a lot going on in Online
Foundations got the biggest hit last time. The only other way they could streamline that dept I think would be to merge it into a program, but they haven't wanted to do that Online. I think the number of FT faculty is down as low as it could go, but... — read more
Layoffs beginning in the next 4-6 weeks?
This is a timeline that I've heard in the rumor mill. Any others?

Departments to be hit?
Which departments do you all think will be cut from? Any guesses? Anyone who would be safe? I'm just curious and wanting to hear opinions about this. I'm not whining or scared or complaining.
Tim Moscato introduces Dr. Donna Gray as the new Chief Academic Officer at The Art Institutes. Anyone know anything about her?
So the last attempt by Pufahl to shaft students and faculty alike was shot down and he retired..... Does anyone know anything about Donna Grey? Is she the flavor of the month or will she actually try to do what's good for the students and faculty and... — read more
Is Goldman Sachs Controlling EDMC Collapse?
I wonder if Goldman Sachs, perhaps the prime actor in EDMC's failure, is also managing its collapse (and profiting at doing it). I cannot imagine any reason why person or organization would buy logically EDMC stock, when the deal between KKR and EDMC... — read more
When I'm bored...
I fill out AI online apps and leave the names and numbers of EDMC execs.
Layoff timeline...
Any ideas as to when we could see rolling layoffs? Just trying to plan ahead for my family and my own career endeavors. We have many back up plans, but I wish I had more of an idea of a timeline. We feel very in the dark in our department. Thank you... — read more

So there are so many obvious issues but who is going to address the needed changes? All I see are a bunch of people whining about management, but when is the last time your voice was truly heard? Suck it up or give solutions to the problems you whine... — read more
EDMC gave a big F*c* you to all the haters!
Cant stop em!
The Dirty Secret about EDMC and Veterans
The dirty secret about Vets is they qualify for double the student loans. As a civilian, they can pay up to 90% of their tuition with regular student loans. The last 10% can come out of their GI bill. That translates to 100% of a Vets education paid... — read more
How can EDMC even hope to settle the 11 Billion law suite if they dont even have 1 billion to spare?
Think about it, most likely scenario is EDMC will NOT take this to trial. They will settle like they do with all their law suites. But lets say they meet half way at 6 Billion. Where are they going to get that money from? Their credit is shot!
EDMC Sees Enrollment Falling Through 2015
But sees enrollment climb in 2016? Yeah, good luck with that. LOL On what basis can they make that angelic proclamation? Even IF they settle all the law suites, For-Profit industry is on it's way out. The genie is out of the bottle. Younger kids know... — read more

Will there be layoffs before then, or will it be later. Any thoughts?
EDMC Stock Drops by 20% After Agreement Reached with Creditors
Initial EDMC press reports a 10% increase the morning after the announcement, but quickly fell by 20% to 1.33 after the dust settled.
Haters can leave
We aren't going anywhere so everyone of you that is negative on here I hope you all are the first ones to get cut. If you think you can do better why are you here anyway.

Possibility of staying open?
Is there any possibility the company will stay open?
Clueless employees
I don't understand how some employees don't have a clue as to what's going on nor do they believe this is a big deal? They think it's like any other rumors and things will go back to normal. Wake up people, I think this reached an end here.
What happens next

Jobs Are Safe?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It appears all jobs are safe for the near future. I don't see any immediate changes or layoffs. This process will take a long time. What do you all think?
BREAKING Creditors offer EDMC a lifeline only if Owners give up most of their equity to the creditors.
The money-losing Education Management Corp, broke their loan covenants on $1.3 billion in debt and have been trying to work out a restructuring plan. The creditors voted on Thursday to offer EDMC a plan where most of the equity will be transferred to... — read more
Real Information
Does anybod have any "real" information about the future of EDMC? Specifically the Online Division? Or has this discussion board turned into rumors, personal attacks, gossip, etc?
Part of EDMC's problem is too many campuses
EDMC took the Starbuck model and splattered a campus on every podunk town in the US. What they really need to do is consolidate. I know this might mean job losses but hear me out. If you took a place like California, they have 8 campuses. There are... — read more

Do you guys think that advisors in the pgh and phx centers will get laid off?
Could EDMC survive if it had to turn away unqualified students?
I know some say for-profit and non-profit are the same, but one big difference is that state colleges and universities turn away many if not most applicants based on grades. This keeps the over all level of the students graduation up as well as... — read more
Curious Student
What is the "fish bowl"? Who are these people everybody is referring too? The people meeting? What are their stories? Fill "us" students on what we are dealing with?
Rumor?
Just heard Read, Caldwell, Tracy Jacobs and Gavlic are meeting to discuss the future. Has anybody heard this rumor? What do you all think of that group?
All Workers (and Especially Managers) Need to Speak Out
Anonymous29278, Managers have to be more than nice. They need to be principled and they need to resist actions that are unethical (and possibly illegal). EDMC is facing the consequences of failing to listen to principled employees and students who... — read more
