There was a Argosy student in my internship cohort. He didn't finish he dissertation on time and then he posted about going through a deep depression. I doubt he has graduated yet. I wonder if he will be able to if all that is getting in the way is the completion of his "dissertation"... Otherwise know as a basic lit review.
I believe Argosy just requires a big review and they don't call it a dissertation.
I'm not sure how likely this is. Many students are geographically limited, which is a big reason they attended Argosy originally.
But not holding my breath for that to happen. Besides, a lot of faculty were already fired at some campuses.
I mean there aren't even campuses or buildings for some locations.
I was in a meeting with the training councils as an APAGS rep and brought up the discrepant data. The NCSPP representative interrupted me and talked about how the data can be off because people get pregnant and withdraw from the match, etc. A few months later that story dropped and suddenly the outcome data were more consistent with APPIC match data. I guess some of them weren't pregnant after all.
This seems like a violation of labor laws.
Thank you. I know one Argosy faculty member, and she's a good faculty member with an impressive academic pedigree (PhD from a well-regarded R1, etc). As much as a non-fan of Argosy as I am, I do feel bad for the faculty here. I mean, yes,they were complicit in these programs, but the academic job market is brutal, and some were legitimately good faculty.
Not argosy, but I've heard from someone else that I met at a conference that the for profits pay very well. Back when I was on the market they encouraged me to consider that route just for the cash - I didn't because of my perspective on the training model.
The APA twitter was advertising programs last fall and I called them out on advertising poorly performing programs and they just said 'these are options', treating them as if they're equal. It's definitely an intentional blind eye for sure.
Don't forget the incestuous relationships the APA leadership had with the US government and contractors involved in torture, as well as kowtowing when the military psychologist division pushed back at the proposed ethical reforms in free wake of the controversy.
We didn’t publish the names of the programs because we didn’t want people to think “oh those ones are the bad ones” and then consider ones that are bad. The analysis was systems level and isn’t useful for individuals (eg a program that only takes three students a year and matches none ever would not have been flagged by our calculation method).
His was a lit review.
Wow. That's just embarrassing. You'd get laughed out of my program with that.
I thought that was what he said, but I just asked to clarify and he said it is one or the other.
For all we know, that is what Argosy is now telling their students. Whether or not this is the truth....
Can I pick which side of the bet I'm taking lol
Yikes. Some of the things posted (and no idea if it’s true, but if it is...) makes me feel like this was a corporate incestuous pool of greed and power hunger. Ick. If there is ever a documentary on this school’s downfall, I hope it’s uploaded to YouTube and stickied in a thread about why to avoid FSPS!!What imbalance?? There were more positions than applicants this year, I thought?
