Adtalem is trying to rid itself of the DeVry brand--and providing it with little capital moving forward. It's survival of the fittest. Forget about people. It's all about profits.

Maybe getting out from under a company that sacrifices all other "schools" for over-priced, for-profit, mediocre medical and nursing schools will be beneficial for DeVry/Keller. When I worked there it was Chamberlain everything. That will only last till the bubble pops (when students realize they can get a better and cheaper education elsewhere). Ride the wave while you can I guess. I'm happy I got out when I did from both "schools"
Gave away? They paid Cogswell to take it...These plans had to be long in the making and kept from faculty and staff in the endless parade of rah-rah Town Hall meetings. Expect more of the same forward-looking, bright and cheery bs as you are led over the cliff.
DVU employees will be someone else's problem.
Thanks for your generous and sympathetic sentiment in this time of organizational change. Not. I don't speak for my colleagues, but some of us who survive the inevitable upcoming layoffs will be glad to be rid of you, too. All of the legacy of allegedly misleading employment claims leading to lawsuits and FTC settlements belong squarely to DeVry, Inc. -> DeVry Education Group -> Adtalem Global Education. Thanks for throwing us away! In the long run, you've actually done us a favor. Some part of DeVry may actually survive (online, a few campuses maybe at most) if it can be rebranded and remarketed quickly. All the blame can be given back to bad parenting. Enjoy the healthcare bubble while it lasts.
I have a hunch Adtalem will change its name to something else. The new excuse is "we need to rebrand since we dumped DVU and Keller." Lol
Adtalem literally gave away DeVry to Cogswell, a venture capital owned for-profit in California. The transaction was de minimis compensation to ATGE, i.e., DVU was an outright gift. So the DVU brand will soon be gone from ADGE. DVU employees will be someone else's problem.
