An institution's mission is actually a value premise. How does your school's value premise contribute to its competitive advantage?

The consequences of doing the wrong thing by mistake, or on purpose, can be severe. What do you think is the most serious consequence of not doing the right thing in your interactions with prospective students and students? Why?

Keegan, well said. That is the reasoning the U.S. Dept. of Ed. uses when discussing misrepresentation. James Faulkner

Troy,I also consider the transparency as a strength that helps build a student population which is very good for a for-profit institution. James Faulkner

Emily,I agree. Further, we need to impart to our students that education is a behavioral change on their part. Changes in their daily routine, finding time to study, are very difficult for most people. James Faulkner

Dominique,I visit all the campuses and I chart their performance in many different ways. I keep the mission and values brochure at my desk to remnd me that it is not about the possibility of being caught, it is about imparting values in our daily lives. James Faulkner

Jonathan,you need to talk with your academic dean. The Department of Ed, our web site, our catalog do nt support the idea that the best a student can hope for is a rest home. James Faulkner

Carinne,we market to a population of students who come to us with some educational risk factors that are not measured by SAT, Wonderlic, and motivational assessments. Reallizing this, faculty and staff often need insight into the world of a single parent with 3 kids, or financial hardships or even domestic violence. Detecting and getting a student help to either resolve problems that arrive to our schools with is often important to their educational success . James Faulkner

Carolyn,Applying academic standards as contained in the catalog is doing the right thing. Informing the student she has failed a standard is doing the right thing. Encouraging a student to do their best is doing the right thing. If a student fails the standard they are dismissed. That is the right thing to do. James Faulkner

Raven, there is an icon on most pages that allow you to print the pages out. Perhaps a copy on your desk would help. James Faulkner
