Shuttered Wisconsin for-profit to reopen campuses under same management - Pat Donachie, Education Dive

Broadview University recently bought several Globe University schools in Wisconsin. The Obama administration penalized Globe late last year for misrepresenting job opportunities in one of its programs, but the Trump administration is proving to be more sympathetic to the for-profit chain and its owners, according to Inside Higher Ed. The Wythe family, which ran the Wisconsin Globe campuses, also owns Broadview and will resume the helm of the re-opened schools. Broadview's CEO argues that an investigation conducted by Minnesota's attorney general into Globe University does not have bearing on its Wisconsin campuses. In December, the Department of Education blocked Broadview's bid to buy the campuses, but the Trump administration reversed that decision. The bid received surprising support from the Wisconsin Educational Approval Board, which has been in tense conflict with Gov. Scott Walker. The board holds regulatory power over many for-profit schools in the state, and Walker has been trying to weaken the power of the board after several failed attempts to do so. http://www.educationdive.com/news/shuttered-wisconsin-for-profit-to-reopen-campuses-under-same-management/448970/
