I thought they were supposed to stop pushing numbers on employees but they definitely haven't. They still fire people for not meeting their numbers. They label it differently than before but nothing has changed as far as production numbers, retention numbers, and referral numbers those are all heavily pushed. This company is so shady! I'm sure the D.O.E has no idea! They probably fluff up their reporting the way they fluff up their default rates. If you think their default rate is bad, you should see the real numbers before they fluff them up for the D.O.E

I can't quote the exact regs, but DOE banned incentive based comp for admissions, but allowed " performance metrics" (I.e. Enrollment targets) to be used to assess job performance and influence termination decisions.
school? It's a useless degree that will only garner derision, not job offers, you f***ing idiots.
Who ran UOP, Mueller. And you couldn't be more wrong on comparing UOP and other for profit schools and state schools. State schools have real standards and don't operate boiler room style, you naive git.
26% is definitely bad but their real numbers are horrid!
Even if not written, I suspect it will always be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
There is a rumor that once the Obama Administration leaves office, quotas will return in full-force. Those who don't make their number of enrollments and retention will be terminated or have their salary reduced. Compensation based on enrollment/retention quotas is a blatant violation of federal law that never really left the University of Phoenix. The University of Phoenix violated that law in plain view of Bush, Clinton, and Bush, Jr. The University of Phoenix was the largest university in the world with the highest dropout rates ever recorded in the history of academics. It was the largest recipient of federal financial aid with the highest ratio of student defaults. With all of these infractions, the feds did nothing. You guys spat in their face and they didn't even blink. It took brave employees inside the University of Phoenix to risk their jobs by bringing class action lawsuits against University of Phoenix before the press even began to cover the story. Who knows how many employees lost their jobs because of whistleblowing and what did it change?
why is it that everyone thinks UOPX is so different from every other school? You think state schools and non profits are any different? I had a friends who worked at a christian non profit university and they pushed enrollments too. It was the running joke, they wont give you an enrollment goal but if you don't enroll enough student you will get fired.
are sleazy boiler room operators.
So 26% isn't bad?
