These new VP’s must be really intimidated. Posts on this site are getting deleted right and left. Goals not being met and enrollment is down. Hoping everything crashes soon. I could use a few weeks off.
What's happening with UoPX military teams?
Can anyone tell me about these military teams and how they have operated and are now operating? You can also tell Veterans Education Success anonymously. https://veteranseducationsuccess.org/whistleblower/
Veterans Education Success looking for whistleblowers--You can remain anonymous
Veterans Education Success is looking for people who can tell us what's going on at the school (including accounting, enrollment, instruction) especially as it pertains to veterans. You don't have to give your name... — read more
Stress
I found the following article (link below) about workplace stress instructive. It is probably a safe bet to perceive that workplace stress is a major factor at UOP given its challenges. Stress is the enemy of productivity and morale. The question of... — read more

Can UoPX survive without targeting vets?
The GI Bill Comparison Tool says that UoPX made $191M from GI Bill funds in FY 2017. Can it survive without targeting vets? How does UoPX still get so many veterans despite all the bad press? https://www.va.gov/gi-bill-comparison-tool
Heard people were walked out today?
Anyone know about that? Apparently a few people were let go today? 12/26/2018
There’s nothing they can do to save UoP or add value to it
UoP is a sinking ship. There’s nothing they can do to save it or add value. I actually loved working there until I got more and more work, less appreciation, and worked for a Director who had NO business being in a leadership position. She... — read more
Attn Marketing
What on earth are you doing??? Stop with the buy two get one and speding efforts on apply now buttons. Run a solid sales campaign! Add some value back into our product. Joan step aside.
My two weeks notice
Fire all Directors and half of all managers!! They do Nothing!! They add no value to retain, enroll or market new students. UOPX is sooo stupid to keep directors and managers as they berate and diminish all morale. Tell us President Cohen what major... — read more
These “leaders” have no idea what they are doing
I agree, we don’t need directors. Really, all we need is one VP and some managers. What do directors do? Well, they yell at managers. They do not coach. I think they run report. It’s an easy way for the school to cut costs. The new president is... — read more
UOPX is hoping and praying...
...for the projected recession in 2020. When the economy goes down, enrollment goes up.
Enrollment Manager Layoffs
Did anyone hear about managers being laid off in Phoenix? Laid off, fired or quit? I heard there were 3 or 4. Anyone know if this is true? If so, it shows we are still on a trend of downsizing. If we had so many students to enroll, we would need all... — read more
Budget Deficit
I heard recently Phoenix is facing a huge budget shortfall of about 85 million. Has anyone heard this from a reliable source? If true, there will be another major reorganization. It seems new enrollment is far below projections and retention is... — read more
HLC Visit?
Any news about how the HLC visit went? I assume everything was fine, but am now wondering if they will be moving forward with a big reorg or if they'll wait until after Jan. 1.
Texas Campuses Status Possible Teach Out
Does anyone know the status of the Houston and Dallas campuses? I heard rumors of the campuses eventually becoming teach out locations and staff moving to work from home. Can anyone add light to this? Talk has been floating around about this for some... — read more

Buy 2 get 1 free
Really? This is the best idea our “brilliant” management can come up with. I know this “deal” has something to do with retaining students through two classes for some number they need to hit for bonuses or to make the school look better on paper... — read more
Last Try
There are larger serious issues. First with struggles from Joan B it was cartoon marketing ads. Then came flat pricing, period. Well then they kept discounts too which just makes it as confusing but just lowered profit. Then push for separating... — read more
Desperate VP’s
Is it me and my team, or do VP’s and management sound more desperate than usual? It’s life and death these days to enroll a student that won’t even complete a first course. Embarrassing!
AXIA College
Is AXIA College that was renamed to something else now history with no more students?
REDUCTION OF STAFF EMAIL SENT OUT
Late Friday evening, the IT department submitted emails to staff members in enrollment and academics that is/will be affected by this reduction. You would have received a notice of a meeting on Monday morning. The email reads: “Many organizations are... — read more

Red Flint
