Thread regarding Dream Center Education Holdings, LLC (DCEH) layoffs

Today they are also committing fraud but what else is new. Remember the Karma thing cause it's real.

Today SUO is running 804 classes

Have to agree been there through it all

AIO killed the ground schools

Oh.... now it’s about education.

Hmmmmm...... we thought it was about a product, numbers and retention?

Thar ya go again

@XjkZsth-ogo

Just trying to do some edumacating. But try to lose the "thar" thing cause it's long past sounding like they's rocks in them thar head.

Uuuuuh.......

The game is over

Yes, online was created as the post UOP era and it was founded in the me-too mentality.

Yes, online servers admissions and campus operations since we are cheap.

Yes, asynchronous online is based on the commondization of education - one size fits all.

But, as with ground, there are respectable colleagues online too, and similarly, there are no respectable (in both modalities). I will defend the need of online although I am campus based. There are pros and cons and it is not for everyone.

Does are senior management try to abuse both? Yes!

At this time, we have to get closer and move together. Not sure if we will recover. Not sure if the cultural decade from SR, TR and even JS will be overcomed. We need to focus on quality. I know, admissions does what they are supposed too, but we have to also do what we are supposed too: prepare the students for the world.

"Online modalities" killed the brands of SU and Ai. Created for cash grab which in turn hurt the longer standing campuses that had built decent reputations prior to this debacle of AiO and SUO.

People who say you "need" both just want to keep pulling in a paycheck and do not care about student outcomes.

Just stopping by to note that TR was/is a d--k.

Good talk.

To many words.

Get a zinger in thar to grab my attention.

No one cares about insider blabbering

South University is a 4th tier school at best, if that. It's business model has always been inconsistent with the reality that the real purpose of schools that teach ancillary medical arts should clearly focus on the clinical training necessary to provide the full spectrum of education that will ultimately lead to successful licensure.

To this end, schools of nursing, physical therapy, physician assistants and nurse practitioners need to be allied with the training facilities within the community which South University has never had nor shown any inclination to cultivate. These clinical training institutions need to have confidence that SU is not just another fly by night business opportunity for a few rich guys who treat students like so much fuel for the fire. Medical training is intensive and students need to know they are being backed up by people, other than business people, who understand the rigor involved in successfully completing these programs of study but are also empowered to make substantive curriculum changes as needed irrespective of the insensate bottom line.

To ask students for premium tuition dollars to find their own clinical venues is a pr-scrip-ion for failure, especially in the extremely tight and competitive localities throughout the country. The days of if you build it they will come are over. There are too many more reputable, better qualified and more cost effective alternatives than SU with very good graduation and retention rates that put South to shame.

A school's good reputation is the sine qua non or calling card to being able to keep the lights on financially for any school. Unfortunately at SU all I see is more of the same rapaciousness by business drones who are short sighted, that don't have a clue or worse yet could care less as long as the federal dollars continue to line their pockets. It all reminds me of the salient expression "change (for the better) or die."

SU needs to be able to offer online classes. SU campuses that have one of the three big medical master's programs have too large a revenue to close down. PA program brings in 2.8 million a year alone. For that reason SU and by necessity SUO survive. To what extent or role current staff have versus the studio is anybody's guess.

If you dont want to be there, go in monday and quit. Plenty of folks would love to have your job right now.

Agreed and very valid points. Who and where SUO's HR department? Where is the department of education with the violation of federal regulations with the stipends? I'm sure but now well aware of what is happening. Dont we need their approval before moving forward with this "efip" company? I'll add another paranoia opinion, although I think there is validity and reason for concern-- this Studio will replace all non academic services. These are NY investors who will place those servises (cheaper) to run the non academic show -to profit. Dont ge si naive and in such denial I say strongly to the commentors above! If they cared they'd already be transparent. The best case scenario in my opinion is of South College but a SUO. Woth this EFIP scam of a non profit we will all be canned shortly.

Guys,

800 classes is not much. Stop drinking the TR coolaid.

A typical campus runs about 300 classes (400 in the old days where they had not tried to move everything online).

You are not going anywhere. SU and any U needs both modalities.

Time to start thinking that we are all one University and we will survive together. No more TR polarization.

I wish the best to everyone.

Today there are 794 classes running at SUO.
