Faculty are friendly but often play favorites and treat students unequally. Favorite students are graded with less rigor and provided opportunities that other students are not. Some faculty make exceptions on assignments to make it easier for those favorite students with less ability and intent to do quality work to get a passing grade. This is not only due to favoritism and unethical behavior on the faculty?s part, but is also due to the fact that faculty are extremely afraid to fail deserving students because their positions could be eliminated. The Administration creates and maintains a toxic work environment in which staff and faculty are often at each other?s throats due to constant budget cuts and the ongoing threat of losing their jobs or having their department eliminated. The President and her cronies hate the faculty and most of the staff and treats them like they are completely disposable. The Administration, led by a President who received a vote of no confidence 10 years ago, continuously eliminates faculty and programs to pay for their own outrageous salaries, buy off certain staff and faculty to do their dirty work for them, garner support and complacency for administrative cruelty and corruption, and pay for expensive administrative blunders and failures. The administration also spends millions on pro university propaganda and misinformation to attract students and falsify their public image in a positive light, which all students quickly realize is mostly all lies after being on campus for only a few weeks. Students are simply viewed as units that represents tens of thousands of dollars in revenue over a 4 yr period that the admin needs to fund their internal profiteering operation, their propaganda and misinformation campaigns, and to maintain their authoritarian power and control. Ethical faculty and departments with academic integrity who do not play along or who are not complacent to Administrative corruption, cruelty, and incompetence, most often leave the university. Those that stay are most often targeted by the admin and eliminated unless they file and win a law suit, which does occur with some frequency. Since most good faculty leave or are targeted and eliminated, most courses are dummied down so badly that even practically illiterate students can pass and even obtain As with minimal effort. Those students that can?t even put in the minimum effort are often just given a minimum passing grade and pushed through to graduation. Academic quality is more on a junior high school level than any other college or university, and anyone who puts in just an average effort at Concord can graduate with honors even though they will not have much of a quality education or have any real useful qualifications in their field after graduation. This is one reason so many Concord graduates go on to work at Concord (i.e. the ones that leave positive reviews on this site). The other reasons of course are nepotism and paying off parents of donors by hiring their children, who again are incompetent because they graduated from Concord. These people often end up as top administrators and sometimes faculty at Concord since they couldn?t get a job at any other college or university or anywhere else for that matter.
