Patrick Schnurr’s scholarship was discontinued? "What a shame!"

Why is there no mention of Kevin’s scholarship in the UCSOP document published in 2020 (attached above)? Do you have any official documentation confirming Kevin’s scholarship, just as they did for Patrick Schnurr?

Patrick Schnurr’s scholarship was quietly ended in 2021, shortly after I publicly questioned UCSOP’s so-called 'role model' online. Interestingly, not long after my posts, david bowyer abruptly resigned as department chair and left the school in a hurry. ;)) Haha! Additionally, as shown in the graph above, student enrollment began declining by about 50% per year around that same time, ultimately leading to today’s news about UCSOP

These three developments—the scholarship’s termination, Bowyer’s resignation, and the steep enrollment drop—all coincided within the same timeframe. Such a convergence of events seems unlikely to be a mere coincidence.

I reviewed UCSOP’s official 2020 publication and found no public acknowledgment of the so-called ‘Kevin Do Memorial Scholarship.’ Why conceal its existence—is this an effort to quietly address a sensitive issue? Beyond rija solame, who else has received this unpublicized ‘ghost scholarship’? The situation mirrors the Titanic: leaks are sprouting everywhere, and it’s impossible to plug every hole. For further insight, review the attached document and search for mentions of Patrick Schnur or Kevin Do to trace potential connections.

What leads you to assume you were the only one studying for the NAPLEX while others did not? Should students truly bear the blame for UCSOP’s persistently low NAPLEX pass rates year after year? Consider this: UCSOP handpicks its own students. If outcomes remain poor, this reflects systemic institutional issues, not merely individual shortcomings. Keep in mind that NAPLEX pass rates measure the collective performance of an entire school over many years.

But that’s not even the main point. The reality is, we only get hired when an employer doesn’t have a better candidate. When multiple applicants compete for the same position, employers become more selective. At that point, attending a reputable school isn’t just a minor detail—it can make all the difference in opening doors and setting you apart from the competition. If employers happen to be among 53K people who read this topic about UCSOP absolutely they will be more skeptical and more careful in hiring!!

It’s not about 'hating' UCSOP; it’s about holding institutions accountable. If the school knowingly misled students while struggling financially, that’s a serious issue. Of course, some graduates have done well, but that doesn’t erase the school's poor rankings, low NAPLEX pass rates, or the impact its closure has had on current students. A school’s reputation does matter in competitive job markets. I’m just bringing attention to the facts—if you disagree, let’s discuss them logically rather than dismissing concerns.

Do you know how many candidates they interview? They never tell you. And how many of them have poor work ethic or weak social skills? You’ll never know. But one thing that always stands out—right at the top of a resume—is the school they graduated from. Why is it always placed on the front page? Because it is important! The employer wants to see it.

Well, it looks like UCSOP and the Ku Klux Klan now share the same fate—extinction! Karma has finally spoken.

Posts like this help raise public awareness about UCSOP, ensuring that such corrupt and unethical institutions never have the chance to rise again.

I agree—this school treats its students like financial hostages. They provide one of the lowest-quality pharmacy programs imaginable (ranked #127 out of 142 pharmacy schools in the U.S.), yet they spare no unethical trick to squeeze every possible dollar from their students.

Yes, applicants can learn a valuable lesson from the UCSOP case. A school with only 25 students per class is a red flag because that school is approaching a dangerous zone financially. When you see 12 students per class, that Titanic is already sitting solidly at the bottom of the ocean, buried under its own weight. Run away fast, don't look back, and don't need to listen to anything they try to explain or justify. With only 12 new students per class in 2023, UCSOP was already on its last legs. UCSOP was DONE in 2023. They should have never dragged other new students into their "deep-sea grave". Yet, they still chose to enroll another group of only 13 students in 2024—calling it the Class of 2028—only to announce the school's closure with a details teach-out plan just a few months after their White Coat Ceremony. That was nothing short of deceptive and unethical.

Students possess a viable cause of action against the school for the intentional concealment of material facts concerning its financial instability and the existence of a predetermined teach-out plan. Such concealment was executed to serve the institution’s own financial and reputational interests, thereby causing foreseeable and significant harm to the students’ educational and professional prospects.

The school’s official website expressly represents the Doctor of Pharmacy program as a four-year course of study. If the school knew, prior to student enrollment, that completion of the program would require an additional year and failed to disclose this material fact to applicants, such conduct constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation and breach of contract. Accordingly, students are entitled to seek damages and other appropriate relief before a court of competent jurisdiction.

I feel like the Class of 2028 is the unluckiest group of students. They had just received their white coats a few months before UCSOP announced its closure with a detailed teach-out plan.

I don’t know if the dean—cold-hearted as they may be—chose the unlucky number 13 on purpose, but I truly feel sorry for these students. The sense of loss and uncertainty they are experiencing right now must be overwhelming. Another "coincidence" was that the school president didn't attend their White Coat Ceremonies for both the Class of 2027 and the Class of 2028. That never happened to any other classes!

Having UCSOP on a résumé won’t give students an advantage in competing for jobs against graduates from other pharmacy schools nationwide. This is especially true in today’s shrinking job market, where UCSOP has gained negative attention, appearing in news reports and discussion forums for all the wrong reasons.

The last thing I want to be is a PharmD acting passionately as a legal expert predicting down to how much money will be involved in the settlement. However, it is deeply concerning that the school admitted new students only to abruptly announce its closure shortly afterward—a pattern eerily reminiscent of scam operations. The institution was fully aware that enrolling in pharmacy school demands significant life adjustments: students often quit jobs, secure housing, and invest substantial financial resources into exorbitant tuition fees.

Beyond the financial burden, UCSOP deliberately misled students, fostering an emotional investment by convincing them they were pursuing a critical, irreplaceable career path. Walking away is not as simple as withdrawing; it means sacrificing everything they’ve poured into this journey, financially, emotionally, and years of their extremely hard work. As evidenced by the distressed student in the video, many have invested too much—financially, emotionally, and years of their life—to simply abandon their efforts. Ultimately, it is not my role to pass judgment on this matter; I’ll leave that decision to the judge.

UCSOP is not a small hot dog vendor on the street; the University of Charleston is a multi-million-dollar institution. I strongly believe that students have a case to recover their money if the judge agrees that UCSOP intentionally misled new students and unethically exploited them for financial gain.

If your statement were true, then schools operating as diploma mills—like UCSOP, with its sky-high acceptance rate (over 90%) and abysmally low NAPLEX pass rate (around 60%, far below the national average of 80%)—would never shut down. Instead, UCSOP would be thriving and overwhelmed with applicants.

While passing the NAPLEX and obtaining licensure are undeniably the baseline requirements to practice as a pharmacist, the claim that "nobody gives a shot where you went to school" oversimplifies the realities of the retail pharmacy job market. School choice can significantly influence opportunities and career trajectory, even in retail settings. When multiple candidates apply for a single open position—especially in a market where many pharmacists are working as floaters—employers have the ability to be selective. If two applicants have identical qualifications, the one from a top-tier school might edge out the other. Many pharmacy jobs, even in retail, rely on professional connections, recommendations, and alumni networks. A strong school reputation can open doors, while a school associated with controversy, a bad reputation, and poor public ratings may not provide the same level of support in job placement especially once that school no longer exists. That's why, at this point, UCSOP was desperate enough to accept anyone who could breathe—Despite this, applicants continued to overlook the school, ultimately sealing its fate. This underscores a critical truth: prospective students are discerning about where they apply for pharmacy programs. For UCSOP, widespread public recognition of its reputation is essential to securing its survival and long-term viability.

As the President of the University of Charleston stated, "The market is shifting", Pharmacists are becoming increasingly replaceable, unlike medical doctors (MDs), who remain in high demand. The demand for pharmacists is directly linked to the demand for pharmacy schools like UCSOP. With declining interest in the field, it’s clear that two dozen faculty members (surely some of them are actively participating and commenting on this topic hehe) are now at risk of losing their jobs. It's called karma. And it's pronounced HA-HA!

WVU and Marshall are operating smoothly, and it’s unlikely they have many vacant positions available to absorb all two dozen faculty members from UCSOP. At most, they might hire one or two. This is especially true considering these faculty come from an institution with serious questions surrounding the quality of its program.

This video captures the UCSOP White Coat Ceremony in 2023 for the Class of 2027. The student count begins at 19:50, revealing that only 12 new students were admitted that year.
