Each US state has a space on the layoff.com for people facing furloughs and layoffs. The State of Alaska, for example, is at https://www.thelayoff.com/Alaska
State colleges and universities have layoff pages. For example, the University of Alaska, Anchorage has a page at https://www.thelayoff.com/uaa
Many private colleges and universities have layoff pages. For example, the University of Southern California (https://www.thelayoff.com/usc) and Liberty University (https://www.thelayoff.com/liberty) have active pages.
While College Meltdown utilizes government, industry, and non-profit data, the information is often stale by the time it is analyzed. Social media, however, provide unique insights into the US subprime college crash, the student loan mess, private college closings, downsizing at state colleges and universities, college financial and political scandals, and other college-related crises as they happen. One important site is TheLayoff.com.
TheLayoff.com has provided a platform for real-time observations and information for more than a decade. In the case of the subprime college crash, workers chronicled the collapse of Corinthian Colleges, ITT Tech, Education Management Corporation, Education Corporation of America, and other for-profit colleges as they happened.
Workers posting on TheLayoff.com also provided insight into businesses that surrounded the for-profit education industry, such as ECMC, a student loan servicer, and ACICS, one of the industry's accreditors.
As the subprime college crash continues, some of the most interesting pages to watch are: Dream Center Education Holdings and the Art Institutes, University of Phoenix, DeVry University, Graham Holdings and Kaplan University (servicer of Purdue University Global), Laureate Education and Walden University, Bridgepoint Education (parent company of Ashford University), and Career Education Corporation (parent company of Colorado Technical University and American Intercontinental University).
The Dream Center layoff page has been particularly active as its schools and former schools, the Art Institutes, Argosy University, and South University, collapse and $13 million in federal aid meant for student stipends has been reported missing.
National American University's death watch is here.
University of Phoenix's layoff page has also been a valuable source about student enrollment, layoffs, and unethical practices that have undermined the school.
Other pages to watch the larger college meltdown include LendingTree, student loan servicers such as Navient, Sallie Mae, and Nelnet, predatory internet lead generators such as QuinStreet, private Christian colleges such as Liberty University, HBCUs like Bethune-Cookman University, non-profit institutions like Baker College, and public universities such as Western Illinois, Southern Illinois, Eastern Michigan, University of Akron, University of Central Oklahoma, University of New Mexico and New Mexico State, University of Alaska, Anchorage and University of Alaska Fairbanks.
With austerity, downsizing, mergers and closures, layoff pages at private and public colleges may also gain importance. Green Mountain College, Hampshire College, College of New Rochelle , and Southern Vermont College are the latest victims.
