Demoralizing and antithesis of what education should be - Anonymous employee National Louis University Employee Review

Pros

Wonderful colleagues, supportive staff, great faculty

Cons

Mismanaged at every level starting at the very top. Poor culture driven by profits and enrollment. Those in power are out of touch with what learning actually means. They throw words around like student learning and student success to justify their agendas which is to bring in anyone with a pulse and to keep them there even if it means bending the academic honesty policy. Every negative comment in the reviews align with my experiences. There is a strong facade to the university bolstered by its rich history, but when you've seen what goes on at the top and witnessed how those attitudes trickle down, it's clear that NLU has become a Nivine machine pumping students through like cattle.
