WGU Layoffs

[ss20ts]

YIKES! I wonder how AI evaluations work with accreditation? I'm sorry but I'm not paying any college for AI evaluations. I want to be evaluated by someone - a person - who has knowledge and experience in my courses. I don't want a robot to say good job. The way this was handled has me really reconsidering getting an MBA from WGU. I was going to do their MBA in a few years but after this I'm not sure I want to be associated with a school who doesn't have an ethical bone in it's body. They handled this soooooo poorly! The lack of communication and transparency was astounding. I see more BIG changes (not good ones either) in the works with a new CEO and CFO who do not come from academia. CEO came 6 months ago and CFO came onboard 9 days before the layoffs. CFO is from AT&T. Why any higher education institution would bring in executives who don't have a background in higher education I'll never understand. Well unless WGU wants to start operating like a for profit then it all makes sense. Add in an 11%+ tuition increase to this mix and the red flags are flopping in the wind.
