UNE relying on Corporate grants

[vesfly]

Just going to leave this here. UNE can’t fill their class so now it looks like they are going to rely on funding from corporations to get bodies in seats. I am all about finding opportunities for immigrants/minorities. However, when current students are coming out with $200k-300k in student loans and never find jobs in pharmacy this seems to be a way to sucker more students into pharmacy and continue to flood the market.

Pharmacists will reach more minority communities in Maine

A new program will help immigrants in Maine serve their own communities as pharmacists

Just wait till you see the schools apply for the opioid settlement funds. My local school got 1M from Covid last year and didn't do sh** with it. Operating a school is better than running a casino. Guaranteed $$$.

It makes sense that they try to give scholarships to immigrants. I can't blame someone for going to pharmacy school if it gets them out of a third world country. I've noticed that most of the pharmacists in my company appear to be 1st or 2nd generation immigrants. This definitely wasn't the case when I first started.
