If AI loses Title IV funding, which is about 80% of revenue, the ability of new students to register will significantly decrease, thus the need for faculty and adjunct faculty. You can only reduce faculty count so far, min / max student counts, if you reduce faculty positions, there will be a corresponding reduction in the need for admin support. Probably going to have to keep ADA's around to find new students. New course work and Curriculums cannot simply just be started in 6 months because of required accreditation approval processes.

This school couldn't stand on it's own merit without government money if their life depended on it.
90/10 is the big thing!!!! it allows them to mislead us Veterans, It did me, but I have already spent too much time so I have to finish. After that I will be calling Capital Hill members everyday to fix the law!! I wish I never heard of the school or EDMC.
Yes…I think it had something to do with the 90/10 rule.
Yep its a shell game. Didn't they try this before by using the Argosy name in front of AI in a pathetic attempt to side step the bad reputation?
Seems like a "shell game" to me..... Shifting the AI Schools to South....
What about Brown Mackie? Gainful employment was estimated to impact 50% of the programs.
Yes I am completely not surprised.
One would think that the programs would continue as they currently are for the time being, and that accreditation would change down the road. There shouldn’t be any reduction in faculty except if enrolments go down at one or another of the schools. Their already running with the barebones faculty staffing as it is. Who knows when it will be officially announced; your guess would be as good as mine at this point. This should not come as a surprise because a lot of this was discussed in the various fillings that have been made public over the past few weeks.
Would the AI programs at the locations you just mentioned still continue, just under SOU? Or would the AI design and culinary programs at those locations be cancelled? Also, when would official announcement be made, and would faculty layoffs occur, including severance?
It’s already started; Michigan, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are being taken over by SOU in the very near future. The official announcement has not been made, but the director were informed this week.
su (fyi), random tidbits have been given about this ai and auo under south next year... can anyone give any actual information about this??
AI is moving under South next year.
how do you suppose they "wind down operations", teach out the classes or simply turn off the lights?
