The New President Has His Work Cut Out for Him
Pros
Convenient location for commuting by public public transit . You'll feel a sense of purpose and that you are among people who care about the students they serve. A new president took office which has many people more hopeful than they were a year ago,
Cons
Notice how GGU's earlier reviews were for the most part positive, but in 2013 they switched to being very negative and even somewhat hostile toward the university’s leadership. Clearly, something has gone wrong and it's driving down morale and increasing turnover. Accepting an offer from GGU at this moment in time means you are also accepting a work environment that is somewhat toxic. Consider your ability to rise above it and persevere until, or if, the situation improves. Sustaining GGU in its current form will become impossible if it experiences one more year of enrollment decreases similar to the last two years. The Board of Trustees may have to decide between slashing programs and services that will include layoffs, moving into a smaller footprint and selling the existing campus to a developer, seek a buyer and be acquired, or close.
