If I'm not mistaken, there are currently 33 Ai locations accepting new "students" (I use that term loosely). A year or so ago, it was 51 locations. The writing is on the wall. To be honest, I'm surprised they've lasted this long. When I left Ai Online over a year ago, I thought all my friends/ colleagues would be jobless within six months. I know it's only a matter of time, but how are they holding on so long?

Florida is not doing better. B.S. quit spreading rumors. The CFPB and DOE are about to make their next move and you know the investors are about to bail. EDMC was just a way to scam money from the feds and general public. Game Over!
This site has always been a bunch of unhappy immature commenters with little info on issues that face EDMC. I can report that two south Florida AI campuses are on the upswing. Both colleges are hovering between 1300 and 1500 students. The job market continues to be strong and staff/faculty are determined to weather through this while supporting our student's continued successes. Fort Lauderdale is celebrating its 50th anniversary soon and recently completed a remodel of the entire campus. With lawsuits ended and a renewed dedication by administration to overcome pass failures brought on by Goldman Sachs control of the company, many are hopeful the future will be better. A return to student centered education has been the buzz words from admin and without it there is doubt the future will survive. Added to this is the reality that Millennilals are aging out of college and entering the workplace, and Gen Z is a much smaller pool of potential students with tough competition from other local schools including community colleges that amerce cheaper. EDMC grew too fast and delivered outrageous returns to its investor that nearly destroyed the company. Many programs were untested and opened in new markets that weren't buying. And cost cutting eliminate much of what made the company unique in the marketplace. Closing smaller campuses was inevitable. If EDMC and AI don't continue to adapt and follow new ethical regulations then there may not be a need for this website.
Look who is in charge in all 5 areas, that's the writing you are looking for! Invisible ink maybe but the target market is shrinking because Ai online is too expensive. Now it's all about selling students camera kits and tablets just to hopefully get them through at least 2 classes to save your own position. Place sucks for real
Fellow employees should be advising students to quit instead of watching their own backs.
If you can't take it then stop reading it. Dumb A_ _
Will you guys stop posting negative post here. It really is affecting your fellow employees.
