As the former Project Manager for Chai University, I answered many questions here on this site about the program and issues regarding accreditation.
I am no longer employed with the company, as it turned into a complete mess; student enrollments were not high enough, classes still have not started and are not in any position to start! When I was last employed with the company, there were only four enrolled students.
There were many issues with the project and I cannot speak highly of the attempts to start classes. "Professor" Jack Bloom has scrambled to start classes - even doing his best to start with only four students - without giving much regard to the fact that it will require many more teachers to teach the classes in order for these students to complete their program.
Chai University also claims to offer both MBA and BA programs in Business administration. This was done in a last-ditch effort to try and up student enrollment. As the project manager, I informed Jack Bloom that the curriculums were far too different and would require additional teachers, as they are completely different! He had assumed the programs were so similar the students could take the same courses. Wrong!
I felt most uncomfortable with the program when Jack Bloom asked me to teach one of the courses. As a 22 year old student at The Ohio State University, I felt it incredibly inappropriate to teach graduate level courses!
Working with Chai University was a terrible experience. All employees, including myself, were completely shortchanged of our pay - with the money we were owed going into Jack Blooms pocket.
As a current student at The Ohio State University and glad my work with CChai University is over, I cannot say this loud enough - STEER CLEAR OF CHAI UNIVERSITY!!!
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I would be more than happy to provide clarity as needed!
