Laureate Education, in just the United States runs:
What this means is that we should pay attention to the
decisions they make and to what is going on with them.
“Laureate
Education’s National Hispanic U. Stops New Enrollments”
“National Hispanic University has stopped
enrolling new students amid serious financial problems, four years after it was
purchased by the for-profit higher-education company Laureate Education Inc.,
the San Jose Mercury
News reported.”
“Laureate is a private company that operates a
network of about 70 colleges in 30 countries. It bought
the university, which enrolls about 600 students, in 2010 for an
undisclosed amount. At the time the company planned to add 8,000 students
online and start degree programs in Mexican-American studies and in Spanish.”
“But the university’s president, Gladys Ato,
told the newspaper that the institution had never met that goal and had been
far from reaching it. She said the university was in a “very difficult
financial situation” and said the institution would focus its efforts on
supporting currently enrolled students.”
“The admissions moratorium surprised students
and faculty members, and raised fears that the university might close or move
entirely online. Ms. Ato said she expected the company and the university’s
board to announce their plans in the coming months.”
