Thread regarding Education Management Corporation layoffs

The announcement is coming soon. Can't wait until President George collects unemployment. What a scum bag of a president he has been at AIP. The "DEAN" isn't any better. I got out of that place when I was shocked at what a joke the culinary classes were. DO NOT eat in their restaurant. Dirty kitchen, a laughable storeroom run by a clueless and arrogant grad of the program, and the food tastes and looks TERRIBLE. The kitchens are dirty the "teachers" were lazy or so broke they didn't have life choices or or grads of the program - all you need to know. Anyone with an ounce of life experience could see the fraud. Sad thing is that they prey on the stupid. Like Trump culture - fear (you NEED a degree) and intimidation. The instructors spend more time on facebook or gossiping than teaching. Horrible school needs to be shut down.

GET OUT OF AI NO MATTER WHAT THE SCHOOL/EDMC TELLS YOU! Look into other schools and see what will transfer and what will not. GET OUT OF THERE! And...KEEP ALL EMAILS, PAPERWORK, TEXTS, ETC!!!!! Get an OFFICIAL transcript and an unofficial one. Look at the unofficial one to make sure what you took is on there with the correct grade. Keep the official one sealed to give to your new school. I can't stress enough that if you are able to transfer credits AI will take their own sweet time to get the paperwork assembled and sent. I used to work at a teach out campus and there wasn't enough staff to do it. One hand doesn't know what the other is doing, trust me!

They told the prisoners of Auschwitz it was only a shower. So don't believe everything you're told.

Be smart. Transfer to a reputable school while you still can, and have your degree mean something. The last thing you want is to go on an interview and have the employer read "Art Institute" and laugh at you! I already have former grads telling me that now.

If the Art Institute isn't a joke now, wait until you graduate to see what an embarrassment it will be.

There isn't a quality instructor or chair at Aip anymore. Anyone with skill has options and a new job - not with edmc. Recent grads and losers left.

So sad😿

Sad but true aip will be no more moving to strip was never a long term option teach out is inevitable

Funny. The old chair never actually taught any classes. So, not sure it's that big of loss. The faculty were the ones who did all the work and put on the fashion show and such. They are still there. The ID chair has forgotten more about design than the previous fashion chair ever knew.

B.S.

Only construction is a tomb

What is the source for the new AIP construction? EDMC is doing this but not telling students and staff? I say bullshit. I hear from a very very solid source that AIP is folding. They are not moving to the Strip District location. Culinary is in teach out and IDT over. They have minimal faculty and administration. Students will go online for teachout.

Construction for the new AIP is underway as we speak.

The AIP school lease is up Spring 2017. Are they telling students there will be an on ground school past that date?
