Fact Sixty-nine (November 4, 2007) – Capella University Can’t Keep Faculty or Employees!
Sure, Capella University is a scam – their President, Michael Oaf Offerman, engages in lying, intentionally violates Federal law (FERPA) and continues to do so even when his “school” is found guilty on TEN DIFFEREN COUNTS by a law enforcement agency, continually exploits the media with endless publicity stunts (such as his latest “Transparency by Design” initiative) which makes absurd bogus claims about the importance of “accountability”; their “executive directors” (Capella-speak for “dean”), such as Kurt Linberg, are inarticulate morons who can’t spell even the simplest of words or write a complete sentence and yet are placed in positions that any real university, would never consider for such a position – especially when, like Linberg, have no real teaching experience; and retains charlatans, such as Diane Stottlemyer, who have literally bought and used fake degrees from diploma mills.
Just a revealing is the FACT that Capella University can’t keep their “faculty.” While Capella’s hiring practices, designed to save as much money as possible (no wonder fakes like Diane Stottlemyer are permitted to “teach”) by employing a whopping 86% of their “faculty” as “independent contractors” (Capella-speak for “adjuncts”) – which, by itself, reveals just how little respect they have for having real academics on their payroll, they keep another, very disturbing, set of statistics well hidden from public view (as we’ve noted, Michael Oaf Offerman is a blatant liar who intentionally HIDES information from public view – so much for his bogus concern for “accountability”). That information would include reporting on the extraordinary turnover of their full-time “core faculty” (which only amounts to a mere 14% of Capella’s instructors).
So, how does Capella University hide this major problem? It’s really quite simple – just try to find old editions of their “catalog” – unlike real universities, Capella withdraws all previous versions from their web site as soon a new edition appears. Let’s take a quick look at just two of these “catalogs” which cover a period spanning just three years – the first was obtained in July 2004 and the second one which from this month 2007. Just for fun, we thought we would look at Kurt Linberg’s “schools” – back in July of 2004, Linberg was the “executive director” for Capella’s now defunct “School of Technology.” After a huge scandal and the previous “executive director” of their “School of Business” was fired, let go, or was asked to resign, Capella combined both “schools” into one entity – their “School of Business and Technology.” According to their July 2004 catalog, the “School of Technology” had ten “core faculty.” Today, a mere three years later, a whopping 80% of those “core faculty members” no longer appear in Capella’s catalog! An examination of Capella’s 2004 “School of Business” “core faculty list” reveals that 79% are no longer listed in their 2007 catalog! Then, when one looks at Capella’s combined 2004 “core faculty” lists and compares them with the “core faculty” list from this year, an incredible 79% no longer work for Capella! That’s right, of the 24 total “core faculty” members who were on Capella’s payroll in 2004, an incredible 19 of them are gone!
Now, let’s take a look at just how unstable Capella’s faculty really is. Assuming that only 14% of Capella’s instructional staff is employed as full-time “core faculty,” their current School of Business and Technology, should consist of roughly, 24 full time and 147 part-time (independent contractors) or 171 instructors in all. As only five members of their “core faculty” has survived over the past three years, their so-called “School of Business and Technology” currently contains less than THREE PERCENT of what should presumably be considered their most important asset – full-time experienced educators. How many real universities have turn over rates that are so abysmal?
Wait a minute! Capella’s inability to keep employees isn’t just limited to “core faculty” – it’s appears to be endemic across all employees listed on their apparently full-time employee lists for the “School of Business and Technology!” In comparing the lists from 2004 against those from November 2007, only 16 out of 75 employees remain! Again, that’s a turnover of approximately 79% in just three years!
As always, we’re sure that Capella’s sleazy and unethical shysters from the “law firm” of Drinker Biddle & Reath, Sir Hank Christian L’Orange the Liar and Horse’s Ass Capella Stella Fey Epling, would also intentionally ignore the hard documentation that notes Capella’s employment problem, so we’re providing links to the actually materials that confirm the fact that moron Linberg just can’t seem to keep his employees; click on each of the following to view the two sets of lists from 2004 (for both “schools”), along with the new one from November 2007. We’ve taken the liberty to highlight, in red, those faculty members and employees on the 2004 lists who are now apparently gone from Capella’s payroll.

* 2004 Administrative Directory for School of Business and School of Technology
(lists have been combined) – employees that appear to be gone are highlighted.
* 2007 Administrative Directory for School of Business and Technology – employees that have lasted three years (impressive) are highlighted.In conclusion, Capella’s School of Business and Technology appears to go through instructors faster than Diane Stottlemyer can buy degrees!
