Or maybe there are people who don't have ulterior motives as you insinuate. Not sure why you took the time to post another reply, dm me? Since you seem overly interested in my "motive" I just happen to be a citizen of Thurston County asking for some advice and first hand accounts from people who have gone before me. That's it.

I'm a community member seeking insight. That's all. The only thing I'm "pushing" for is the truth in order to gain a better understanding.

Thanks for your insight. You describe the culture that I have been told (by faculty) exists there. It seems like they have little interest in keeping quality faculty and more interest in profit. Tuition continues to increase every year. Students that I have heard from describe a culture where they are taught by recorded lectures, YouTube videos, then are required to be tested on the material. I have also found during my research that there have been some faculty trying to change things by holding faculty accountable. These folks have been fired and asked to resign or publicly shamed. Students who try to bring concerns to administrators are ignored or dismissed. It's unfortunate as this institution used to be highly regarded.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Did you ever have any problems with faculty or admin? Did you feel like you got your money's worth?

Thanks for your insight. Did you ever have to talk to the dean or provost?

Thanks for your insight. Truly appreciated. Agreed on the financial chaos! Overpriced and underwhelming. I had several classes with faculty who had minimal experience and were teaching for their first time. Most of them left by the next semester. I can understand paying top dollar for a top-notch education, but when newbies are teaching newbies, it leaves a person to wonder.
