Thread regarding Education Management Corporation layoffs

Ai Sacramento Layoffs

I can confirm that the Directors of Student Affairs, Career Services, Financial Aid, Accounting, two Academic Directors (Design and Media), and some number of ADA's were laid off.

Some of these people, particularly one of the Academic Directors (Design), were considered the lifeblood of the school. I don't know what, if any other opportunities there are within this company for these people, but if they can not find away to keep their best people, there is little to no hope for this company.

As a faculty member in the Media Arts program, I can say they Director of Media was a bit of an assclown, doing just what he wanted and ignoring everything and everyone else. The Director of Design bent over backwards to make things better for teachers and students at this campus. A very approachable and respectable guy. I for one will be watching what they do with the talent they have on hand, as it is a sign of what is to come.

Yeah, if you consider getting 7 times the work and 0 extra dollars a promotion.

Hell, if that's the case, then EDMC will promote a lot of people over this break.

Hummm... with all of these promotions, how come so many people got LAID OFF??

I know the Director of Career Services at Sacramento has held a dual role these last few months and slid into her new position as Career Services Specialist. This is a regional position and promotion.

Salaries are 1/2 price with different title. You are better off getting a job at McDonalds.

Has anyone been made an offer or been rehired yet? I know they were planning to rehire some of the folks they let go. When does that happen? Are the salaries much lower?

Its not just happening at Ai, its happened at Argosy in Chicago. Director, Assistant Director of Admissions, Financial & Academic Advisors, Department Chairs and they have reduced faculty to adjunct positions. Start interviewing ladies & gentlemen!

It is all a fraud. I was riffed some time ago and have since moved on. I still have friends there so I keep in touch. I notice that the school I worked for still uses my students' work to help sell the place. I also notice on the AI website that they're using a lot of ex faculty bios to lure in students.

This is all too much. Shut the place down. Do it now.
