Pros

Loved the team. Ample parking around town.

Cons

It is with great sadness that we see the writing on the wall for this once-average institution. Instead of "Feathers Up," the motto should be "Do More With Less." Here you'll find a weird mix of employees who do the work of two or three people and others that do nothing at all. Is bad leadership to blame? Absolutely. But it's also... ~ Crippling debt ~ Rural campus setting ~ Lack of a cohesive marketing strategy ~ Low ratings everywhere ~ Poor reputation management ...that are contributing to the demise of UIU. What's out there? ~ BOTTOM 25% of Regional Midwest Universities (U.S. News & World Report) ~ 1.9 star Rating from employees (Glassdoor, 110+ reviews) ~ 1.9 star Rating from women (InHerSight, 130+ reviews) ~ F- Rating for Value (CollegeFactual Scorecard) ~ Multi-million dollar deficits for the last five years (IRS)
