'''Finding.''' Per the tracker's evidence, students reported wide variation in instruction quality, with some faculty providing only brief lectures and leaving students to figure out the material while other cohorts reported adequate teaching, a variability consistent with a high turnover environment in which faculty quality is unpredictable and underperformance may not be addressed.

'''Evidence.''' Student CB (October 20, 2024) described a few great professors and quite a few who put out a ten minute lecture and hope students figure it out. Student F (December 30, 2023) described the first cohort acting as guinea pigs. Anonymous member 261 (August 29, 2025) described the cohort as a disorganized disaster in the context of faculty quality. Source Group: Facebook Group Export (Volume 7).

'''Reported statement.''' According to the tracker, Student CB said there were a few great professors and quite a few who put out a ten minute lecture and basically hoped students would figure it out on their own.

'''Standards.''' ACEN Standard 5 (faculty must be evaluated and underperformance addressed). Students paying the same tuition receiving materially different instruction depending on assignment is a program quality concern. Lead: {{HU|HU-103}}. See {{HU|HU-077}} (self teaching expectation).

'''Impact.''' Students who pay the same tuition receive materially different instructional experiences depending on which faculty member they are assigned, independent of their own effort.
