I can’t comment on MA’s internal business, but will say that it doesn’t have any negative effects on Turing students. Merit America are some good folks trying to do good work training people for jobs. I really hope these moves allow them to set up for long-term success. Also

I'm not agreeing or disagree with 2025 outlook, but I really think the DEI stuff at the federal level is impacting the vibes. Big money doesn't want to be see funneling funds to organizations promoting DEI both for legal reasons and for political ones. It's crazy how DEI went from being something that you felt guilty NOT saying, to something you feel guilty SAYING lol
