Utah Valley University reviews

I left my previous job to join this amazing teaching job only to realize that the standards of the department and students is so low. Students are not at all held to normal university standards. The students basically run the show and the professors do what the students want. It is a classic example of the "Parent trying to be the student's best friend". So make tests easy so that students love you, allow plagiarism and cheating, otherwise you are being too harsh. Students have no respect for teachers I guess unless they are of the same religious background and are male. Classic problem with anything in Utah. Not to mention, the university brags about its increasing enrollment rates....but what about having the highest non-graduation rates? What are they doing about that?

- not a ton of room for growth - a LOT of office politics - bad leadership and management depending on where you are - not great pay - burnout is bad - people resigning left and right so your workload is rough - Lack of transparency - drama ALWAYS - not a lot of support and appreciation - if you did well they bare acknowledge it but if you made mistakes you never hear the end of it
