I heard a rumor that private equity may take over the company, fire senior management (i.e. Chip), and strip the organization. Some news outlets have heard this too, apparently: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-04/sachem-head-said-to-push-education-company-2u-to-explore-sale

Companies should avoid at all cost TPG, saw first hand how bad they handled the wind River systems acquisition. Don’t get me wrong the wind river management is as bad as it can get, but you throw in TPG and you get an absolute mess!
They'll split the companies (2U, Trilogy, GetSmarter) up and get rid of most of the 2U part since the other parts were profitable and 2U isn't anywhere close
You better hope it’s not TPG, they are a mess. They are allowing Wind River System executive to wreak havoc on the company.
