I feel they should get a lot of credit for being this transparent; it would have been really easy to make quiet changes and sweep it under the rug, and move on.

I am also not surprised that UX designers are having difficulty finding jobs since lately app and website design seemingly trend heavily towards 'user be damned', with the most basic interface fails. They certainly couldn't have been designed by someone with an inkling of training!

Sounds like it didn't work, and they're fixing it. Seems way better than just let the grumblings of failed jobless students leak out over the years.

But ignoring that, why is it too late? Have a lot of UX students come forward complaining about the program? I haven't been following the news around it, I'm genuinely curious.

This article strikes me as honest & transparent in the beginning, and very hand-wavy, we-hired-a-consultant-to-write-this-so-we're-provably-covering-our-bases-look-at-all-we're-doing-to-address-this-please-don't-sue towards the end.
