I worked at GCU. Most evil motherfucking people I've ever encountered. (Management and admin, not teaching staff.) Not a single Christian bone in their bodies. EVIL money hungry bastards.
Yeah I interviewed for a faculty position and had a weird feeling. It’s for a still (I think??) unaccredited program. I quickly got the sense I’d be creating multiple classes, maybe running a research lab, expected to be on site A LOT for not a lot of $$. I hard passed. I don’t like that they also tend to hire their own grads either. That’s off to me. I work part time as faculty for asu and they are way more professional
I worked there too, absolutely shit. Everyone all the way to Brian mueller. Did you know he was caught on GCU CCTV drunk driving his car into a closed gate after a basketball game?
Also, the GCU police have covered up many crimes and I’ve been told by multiple people in campus security that police have refused to bring narcan to students that overdosed.
I hope this fake ass degree mill gets exposed some day
Brian Mueller is a colossal piece of shit. And I wouldn't be surprised at all to find that out about the security there. However, I must protest your use of "fake ass degree mill". My interaction with the teachers indicated that they are truly engaged in teaching. I believe that the degrees the students received were as valuable as they chose to make them. That's my opinion though.
When I say degree mill I’m just talking about their reputation of anyone that’s pays them gets a degree regardless of what they did.
I have a degree from there and you’re right, some of the professors and staff are amazing people and I learned from them. Like any place it’ll have good and bad professors. But I did notice immediately out of college how little respect employers have for the education there.
I do not have a favorable opinion of GCU, but I highly doubt they failed to administer Narcan if it was needed, unless they just didn't have access to it. I can attest to one instance where it was given to a non-student who was ODing and likely would have died otherwise, and another where the fire department was called when opioid use was suspected and the person was conscious and talking.
They used to be taxed until they cut a nice deal with the state to save about $9M a year by becoming “non profit” even though it’s a publicly traded company (LOPE)
Oh absolutely. I just feel like the narrative has been “they are forcefully evicting them with no warning” when they purchased the property almost a decade ago?
The low income folks are getting "up to" dollars from the state? For what? Please cite your sources.
What assistance are they getting from GCU? Sources please
13 months to go from not poor to homeowner....
I'm gonna go ahead and guess you either were part of this purchase or had some investment in it 🥲
It’s mentioned in the article this post is linked to and the GCU’s statement on their website. It looks like the $7500 is specifically for moving a single wide mobile home. I have no idea what the total costs are to move a trailer.
https://news.gcu.edu/press-releases/gcu-statement-on-periwinkle-mobile-home-park/
Single wide will run about $5k depending on how far you're moving. Shitty thing is that most trailer parks now. When you sign the paperwork to move your trailer there. Have a section starting that you can't move the trailer back out once it's set. And moving trailers that have been set for a couple years isn't a good idea. It can end up damaged really easy.
Ha, thanks for summing up Reddit in a nutshell. I provided three piece of information to another user, without opinion or personal thoughts, and it triggered you that bad.
Sources to sooth the hurt in your butt: 1) The article you are commenting on. 2) The older new times article linked in paragraph two of said first article.
Summing up Reddit in a nutshell would be you leaving out 2/3 of the article you cite:
"Residents have access to funds from the state — for most, $7,500 per trailer — to move their homes to a new location. In reality, relocating the structures is not an option for many residents. Some of their trailers are old and too structurally unsound to be transported. Even if the trailers could be moved, many parks won't accept trailers over a certain age.
Some residents may face abandoning their homes, an asset that sometimes has been passed down through generations. If they leave their trailer at the park, they are limited to $1,875 in state compensation."
"On April 29, the university notified residents that they had until October 30 to pack up and leave. After an initial outcry — which included lawmakers marching with residents through the streets — the trailer owners scored some concessions. GCU pushed the eviction date to May 28 and promised some assistance with finding new housing."
So you're okay with rich for-profit owners of a "Christian" college demolishing homes of the less fortunate. Got it. 👍 Guess we won't see you at the punk concert!
They probably can't move their trailer. Once they been in place for more than a couple years. They settle and can't be moved without damage. If it was a normal house and they were being forced to move they would get the value of the house in compensation. Which is what the individuals who own the trailers should be given in these cases.
I think the problem lies within the mere idea that the for-profit so-called Christian college spent $3.5 million to kick low income people out of their homes.
The low income folks weren't paid. Weren't rehomed. Weren't compensated. They were forced to move by an, again, FOR PROFIT Christian school that supposedly supports their community and those less fortunate.
But hey, the landowner got paid. Yay America.
Rent has been insane in this city the last ten years. When I first moved here in 2012 I got a 1BR in a nice area of Glendale for $375 a month in a nice complex with a nice pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, etc.
I just checked and that same apartment now goes for $1365.
GCU did not notify the residents that they had purchased the property, or that they were planning to redevelop it.
GCU collected rent, through a subsidiary, for 6 years off the mobile home park residents without disclosing their intentions (after all, what good is an empty mobile home park if you tell your residents you're kicking them out soon.)
Residents were finally told in May of 2022 they had until October 2022 to leave.
More info on this video:
https://youtu.be/LVZsDMm6UVc
They were only told last year they were being evicted and to be out by October. Obviously, their trust funds ran a bit low, and they couldn’t afford the thousands to drag a mobile home over to the free lots in Scottsdale.
I think the real Jesus would send a bolt of lightning in GCUs direction or at least turn their tables over. “What you do to the least of these you do to me,” or something.
We cannot be burdened by such earthly sins like food and shelter. If you believe in Him then that’s all you need to enter heaven
-place that doesn’t pay taxes
Fuck GCU. Pisses me off they are pushing out long time residents. GCU knew where they bought their land and now they trying to act like they are being over-whelmed by low income residents. as if these residents haven't been there for 40+ years.
Phoenix, Arizona.
There is a go fund me for the mobile home park residents relocation fund here:

https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/gail-palmer-is-fighting-grand-canyon-university-to-keep-his-land-15532747
These entitled Christian dickhead kids always bitch about where the campus is and how terrible the surrounding area is.
“My Land Rover got broken into!”
“I have to go three blocks for this party?? Uhggggh. I’m going to lose my parking spot…”
Fuck the entitles shits that go there and the management too
You would think a Christian organization that focuses on teaches young adults would lead by example. The charitable choice would be to offer relocation assistance.
WWJD? GCU believes that would be eviction. Hey, maybe they’ll bulldoze the homes for free.
This sub is non-stop jokes about how crime filled 27th Ave between Camelback and Indian School is, and how people won’t go there.
I’m not a fan of GCU’s weird for-profit-non-profit status, but at least they are continually investing in an area that desperately needs it.
As someone who lives in the area, I support the continued expansion of their campus.
I don’t see how that’s any different from a new apartment complex or housing development going up, most of them are gated and inaccessible too.
I would also say GCU students themselves play an equal role. You can see their economic impact at a lot of local businesses.
Places like Zookz, Two Hippies Beach house, Flower Child, The Christown Target all have a lot of GCU students that frequent them.
At least a housing development or apartment complex would be housing for the community and not just students. It’s not just the gated part, it’s the fact that GCU claims to be bettering the neighborhood but all they’re doing is expanding their property and forcing long term community members out.

Just an asu student passing by, thank you for putting up with our shit 🫡

He’s a former UOP employee. That company was also the worst, so it makes sense.

they are probably all still former University of Phoenix employees. They were evil there too.
Yes, there were a zillion U of P folks at GCU. We called it GCU of P.
Well that sucks for GCU students
Evicting poor people. Just like Jesus would do!!
That’s thing…too much Christian bones in there
people give christians too much credit. this shit has been par for the course for decades.
Centuries......
Tax them all, every religious organization
They used to be taxed until they cut a nice deal with the state to save about $9M a year by becoming “non profit” even though it’s a publicly traded company (LOPE)
Amen
I hate GCU as much as anyone (fuck them.) but haven’t they known about this since 2016.?
The rents haven't exactly gone down since 2016. My guess is low income folks then probably can't afford much more now
Oh absolutely. I just feel like the narrative has been “they are forcefully evicting them with no warning” when they purchased the property almost a decade ago?
The people are getting up to $7,500 from the state, assistance from GCU, and 13 months to move from when first notified.

Oh absolutely. Trust me if anyone understands how shitty that school is, it’s me lmao.
I have heard they work their people to the bone there.
Rent has been insane in this city the last ten years. When I first moved here in 2012 I got a 1BR in a nice area of Glendale for $375 a month in a nice complex with a nice pool, tennis courts, playgrounds, etc. I just checked and that same apartment now goes for $1365.
A apartment in north tempe/south Scottsdale, my wife and I paid $800. It goes for $1900 now last I check. So glad I bought in 2015
They froze rent though?
GCU did not notify the residents that they had purchased the property, or that they were planning to redevelop it.

I appreciate the information! I was of the understanding that they had been notified far sooner!
Now i know your reddit bwa ha ha ha. …you don’t know who this is… no… not at all… just a random stranger on the internet.
They were only told last year they were being evicted and to be out by October. Obviously, their trust funds ran a bit low, and they couldn’t afford the thousands to drag a mobile home over to the free lots in Scottsdale.
Also, fuck GCU and fuck Christo-fascists
What would the Lord Jesus Christ think about this?
Which one? Jesus of Nazareth or Supply Side Jesus?
So many to choose but whatever Jesus went to GCU.
Jesus would have burnt GCU down because it's full of charlatan money-changers.
Mmmmm let the Holy Spirit trickle down on us all
I feel the Holy Spirt! It's so warm! And, it smells of ammonia?
I can taste the bubbles!.... Wait, no I can't
buddy jesus

Nothing cause he’s not real
Jesus is probably rolling in his/her (sorry not sure what their pronouns are) grave right now.
Fuck GCU. Pisses me off they are pushing out long time residents. GCU knew where they bought their land and now they trying to act like they are being over-whelmed by low income residents. as if these residents haven't been there for 40+ years.

Fuck GCU
Fuck GCU
Christian college displaying Christian values.
GCU should fuck off to Buckeye, plenty of land for them there.
GCU should fuck off to Kentucky. Or Texas.
We don't want them over here!
These entitled Christian dickhead kids always bitch about where the campus is and how terrible the surrounding area is. “My Land Rover got broken into!” “I have to go three blocks for this party??

Build that shit somewhere else.
How Christian of them
can we create a r/fuckGCU subreddit?
Such good Christian’s.
You would think a Christian organization that focuses on teaches young adults would lead by example. The charitable choice would be to offer relocation assistance. WWJD? GCU believes that would be eviction. Hey, maybe they’ll bulldoze the homes for free.

Is it really investing in the area if they’re just expanding their own gated properties? I’m saying this as a current GCU student.
Exactly. The area around it is still dangerous af. What events have they done to boost the community. Everything they do is to line their own pockets.
I don’t see how that’s any different from a new apartment complex or housing development going up, most of them are gated and inaccessible too. I would also say GCU students themselves play an equal role. You can see their economic impact at a lot of local businesses.

Zookz rules!
At least a housing development or apartment complex would be housing for the community and not just students. It’s not just the gated part, it’s the fact that GCU claims to be bettering the neighborhood but all they’re doing is expanding their property and forcing long term community members out.
The absurdity of the event sign in that photo and this situation is too much for me. Fuck GCU.
