Disappointment in Prescott

Assistant professor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful students A very nice campus

Cons

The college of aviation leadership was unprofessional in their work, and incurious regarding the current state of the aviation and airline industry, faculty and staff. Leadership did not seem to care about providing guidance to professors, minimal effort expended on communication and support, nor did they care about the quality of education delivered to the students. As a result, there was a revolving door of professors who quit during the last five or six years. This, like everything else, was not a concern to leadership, and as a result, many aviation students do not graduate on time.

ERAU - Ok but Changing Fast!

Professor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Dynamic and growing environment. High achievers in signature areas are rewarded and well paid.

Cons

ERAU is changing fast. It used to focus mostly on undergraduate education but now much focus is on research and money. And on money. University administration and the Board of Trustees has seriously eroded faculty morale in recent years by “redefining” tenure to be, in essence, a 5-yr contract.
