Today we learned that one of the leading public companies in the for-profit education industry will sell its business to a group of investors. Again, many years ago the Association has predicted that this possibility may occur, and that we learned today it has happened.  Note that if this can happen to for-profit education institutions, one can also make a parallel prediction what is going to happen to private, small, and non-state owned education institutions, unless certain strategic actions are taken.  The Association has written in its Blog many months ago that the US education industry is experiencing phenomenal structural changes.  As the regulator puts more breaks, one may see more mergers, take-overs or college closures in the future.
