Complaint Review: Grantham University - Kansas City Missouri

I am bewildered at the astonishing events that have taken place at Grantham in the last 7 months. This company has went through so many transitions and it's hard to follow what's happened. I see and hear things that concern me, so I feel it's my right to bring certain situations to light. I hope this helps students & employees greatly. I will say that I currently work for Grantham University, and have come across many inconsistencies througout my time here. Although no solution is ever rendered but I go on to serve the students as best to my ability.

I would like to address the ripoff reports first because I found a lot of truth in every report. The whole workplace was in a frenzy and everyone was rushing to the Freebrowse computers in the breakroom to look up the report that had several managers in an uproar. I want to be fair in saying this, but the sexual harrassment rumors about Mr. George Colon are TRUE! He makes a lot of sexual inuendos to a lot of young women. He hand picks them by judging size,age, looks and eventually preys upon them. Oh golly that day when the truth came out I thought we would have to call the paramedics, because George was so angry and embarrassed that his secret was unleashed and viewable for the whole world to see. George even said a lawsuit would be in place when he finds out who made the report. We had a breakfast and he joked purposely about the sexual harrassment allegations to cover up. I hope his wife doesn't leave him, because we still need her to continue to grade the Proctor Exams.

I wish I could take every student under my wing and guide them away from Grantham and to the best online university possible. There are only 15 day extensions and students are cancelling everyday. Grade reports can't be mailed out anymore for students and Pensacola is hounding our asses. Eventhough the students are paying for their classes using TA or Montgomery G. I Bill, no grade reports are making is seems as if the students haven't taken any courses with us. Therefore Pensacola want's to know where the grade is and have started to garnish Military students wages. I go to Student services to help me out, but they are always away from there desk or chatting about needless things. Our job is so hard.

A few of my co-workers went on a all expense paid trip to "Cancun" because they reached a goal of signing students up. I refuse to participate in such rubbish. I'm starting to believe we do run a used car dealership just to get the students money. I'm looking for other employment because I feel Grantham will be facing several lawsuits leading to the school hightailing it back to Louisiana or closing for good. All departments are in need of employee's. The turnover rate is getting poor, due to all the quitting and termination of employee's. Our student count as of a few days ago was a little over 4,100 students.I advise all students to research before attending to this school. Believe me its just not worth the problems.

I went to online degree reviews and found a great many conversations about Grantham. I was in shock to find out what students/employees/researchers have found out. Grantham is lying to students about transferred credits to universities like Pepperdine, (Louisana) and many others that WILL NOT ACCEPT GRANTHAM CREDITS or Bachellor's degree. Below is an actual reponse letter including actual contacts from Pepperdine about Transfer credits from a Nationally Accredited College. IF I can't fight for my students during work I will find other ways to assist and serve properly! Please read below and I look forward to updating everyone on arising situations and your responses are welcomed. I will help any way I can.

Dear Sir or Ma'am,

I am just completing my BSEET degree from Grantham University, a DETC National accredited university. Would this meet your requirements for entrance into your MBA program? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

****

(As you can see, I put down a BSEET degree, just like Mr. Former Student said he had.)

This is the reply that I received today:

Dear ****,

Thank you for your interest in the Graziadio School of Business and Management. We require completed undergraduate degrees from regionally accredited universities, so an undergraduate degree from a nationally accredited school would not meet that requirement. I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions.

Take care,

Marc
