Accreditation fraud! Why isn't anyone calling out the American culinary federation?
The acf puts their stamp of approval on these bs art institute culinary programs. Experienced staff is gone, there is never enough equipment and the product is horrible. A five hour class has enough work for an hour. I dropped out of Aip after 3... — read more

Prediction became fact
Ai. and it’s silent
My campus is running on such bare bones... nobody’s left Anymore reductions and the system will break
All AI campuses to close
More than likely, all Ai campuses will be closing. Regardless of what anyone thinks of the quality of the programs (there is some debate), the Art Institute was never viewed as a "fit" for the Dream Center Foundation, only a risk. Ai was not one of... — read more

June 16th Open House Seems Like a Hard Sell
I'm trying to figure out how the remaining Ai schools can sell their campuses with all the downsizing going on, and Ai's ties to the more than questionable Dream Center. Back to the pain funnel?

Serious question, are they going to close all the campuses that aren't Pheonix or LA?
It sure feels that way. Is dropping housing the first step? Now that Woz U isn't happening, are they done with the Ai locations? No ads, no housing...are they pulling out?
