Wow, it's really quiet here. I do expect a few Strayer campuses to close. Has anyone seen a list of the teach out schools yet?
"The transaction between Strayer and Capella is expected to result in about $50 million in annual cost savings within 18 months of closing, which is targeted for 2018’s third quarter."
