'''Finding.''' Per the tracker's evidence, students documented high faculty turnover and loss of instructional continuity, including a Clinical IV instructor who disappeared on day one of the semester with no replacement or communication (tracked in {{HU|HU-043}}) and a first cohort mental health instructor who stated from day one that she would never lecture and was not retained for subsequent cohorts.

'''Evidence.''' Student AY (January 26, 2025) listed very high faculty turnover as a primary deficiency. {{HU|HU-043}} documents the Clinical IV instructor absent on day one. Student F (December 30, 2023) described a mental health instructor who said she would never lecture and that students were left as guinea pigs passing information to classmates. Source Group: Facebook Group Export (Volume 7).

'''Reported statement.''' According to the tracker, Student AY described very high faculty turnover as a primary deficiency of the program. Student F said the cohort had a mental health professor who told them from day one that she would never lecture and that the program was self taught, leaving the first cohort to act as guinea pigs sharing information with classmates.

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 5 (sufficient, qualified faculty to support program outcomes; instructional continuity); 34 CFR §668.14 (administrative capability, including stable qualified faculty); HLC Criterion 3.C (sufficient faculty resources). Lead: {{HU|HU-103}}. Extends {{HU|HU-043}}.

'''Impact.''' Loss of instructors mid program disrupts learning and disproportionately affected early cohorts who bore the cost of a developing faculty infrastructure.

'''Notes.''' Sub-issue of {{HU|HU-103}} (lead). Split 2026-06-06.
