WGU Layoffs

[ss20ts]

While the general sense is WGU could have handled the communication of staff layoffs better, it doesn't sway my opinion of the school in the least. I would rather administrators furlow 160 excess staff members vs keeping bloated departments and raising tuition higher for all students. 

WGU is raising tuition this year after about 5 years of little to no increases and is STILL one of the lowest cost schools in the country. Yes, I am a recent graduate who believes 

The tuition increase is 11+%. That's a significant increase. This is in addition to hiring a new CEO and CFO who are not from academia and layoffs. It's more expensive than many state schools in state tuition.
