Provided by YP.comWhile the education for students is held to a decent level at Keiser University, take caution to accept employment with them. The president at the Sarasota campus has numerous charges against her with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission due to her lack of knowledge, understanding or respect for the disabled. Faculty and staff are often harassed by the students, which goes largely ignored. The grievance procedures that students can partake in are pre-determined in favor of the university as the president is the one who speaks to the committee and decisions of each member are recorded along with the threat of retaliation to side with the student. The campus operates with too few faculty and too many administrators. The university employees a law firm (the university is actually listed on the law firm’s web site) due to the number of right’s violations that take place. The firm threatens those involved in disputes with letters making demands that have no legal merit.
Again, the faculty are highly professional and the education level is respectable. There is, however, the constant reminder that this is a private university and for-profit. In that environment, those put in high administrative positions do little to create a supportive level of security for employees. When unlawful terminations or actions occur, particularly those against the disabled or for retaliation purposes, there is never an explanation to students, staff or faculty with an understanding that there should be no discussion of an employee’s immediate departure or replacement. Those involved at the campus level are no longer held responsible for the incident as the university campuses are controlled at the corporate level (with legal representation immediately becoming involved).
It could be a concern that the students’ tuition is budgeted for law violations and legal representation rather than an appropriate ratio of faculty to students.
