Only concerned about making money...

Pros

Faculty cares about student success

Cons

Faculty Chairs and Faculty Managers pressure Professors and Vising Professors to cater to students and give passing grades even if they do not put in the work. All they look at is stats, how many students are passing vs failing and if even a few students have failing grades they immediately begin pressuring Professors and asking why the students are failing. This is college, and Professors should not be babysitters. They are more concerned with keeping students happy so they do not withdraw so they make that money. If any Professors pressure back or question them, they are retaliated against and do not get courses offered to teach. I have been teaching at DeVry for 13 years, developed several of the courses still being taught today, then I was transferred to a new group where the Facutly Chair is obsessed with power and authority and continues to pressure me to give passing grades to students who refuse to put in the effort and I refuse to do this as it will not prepare the students for the real-world after graduation, so now he has not approved any courses for me to teach for 11 months now. I have reported him to Human Resources, had meetings but nothing changed. Students might as well be handing over some money and buying a diploma/degree like a fake diploma/degree mill.
