University Alliance, Bisk Education, Bisk, Florida Tech university alliance sucks nathan bisk sucks, tampa Brandon Florida

Wow! Red29programrep sounds like nothing more than a disgruntled former employee. 

I am a current, non-management, employee of Bisk Education/University Alliance. I have worked here over a decade and, contrary to Red29programreps assertion,  I know a lot of others who have worked here as long or longer. 

My understanding is that few books come from the university. Books come from publishers. University Alliance does not require people to buy them here. The choice of vendor is theirs. You can buy new college books at a book store for a premium. If you choose to do so, does that mean you were swindled by the bookstore? No. It means you weren't a good shopper.
 
Bisk offers books as a convenience to the students of the universities they service. The University Alliance makes its earnings by providing Internet infrastructure for universities to make their programs available online. Additionally, University Alliance publicizes these online programs and handles the enrollment process.

All of this results in streamlining the process for both the universities and distant enrollees. These benefits results in costs that are no secret, but are considered a value by virtue of the hundreds of thousands of courses people in which have enrolled through this process. Still, it is always wise for the buyer to be aware.

If you, as an employee, swindled people, lied about financial aid, or told people anything they wanted to hear just to get their credit card number, shame on you. It is a good thing you went on your way. Bisk tells us all up front that the company email system is theirs. If they are finding something to fire you about, it is because you did something warranting your dismissal.

It is their responsibility to their customers to assure that they arent being misrepresented, and that their client universities arent being misrepresented, so if they found damning emails on your account, good for them. It is common for companies to lay-off employees, usually starting with the least effective ones. This is sad, but necessary to maintain efficiency, effectiveness, and quality.

Lastly, I have personally witnessed Nathan Bisk treating several employees on various levels with unnecessary kindness. He is not known for being warm and fuzzy, and he is a hard-nosed businessman, but he is also compassionate and loyal to those who have served the business and its customers well.

My advice to you, Red29programrep, is this. Learn to write and to make your point more effectively. Higher education can help with this. If you dont get help from University Alliance, get help somewhere.

I was trying to sign up with Florida Technical University via University Alliance. The books are very expensive, but college books are very expensive.

You do not have to buy your books from them. You can attempt to provide your own books. However, if you don't have the exact book and the exact revision when the class starts, you might have problems. Asking the school to ship the book after class already started is too late.

At least they are not as big of a ripoff as Kaplan University is!
