OKOK, it's a really big yard https://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-laureate-institutions-sold-20190603-story.html
Laureate is one of the biggest for-profits at this point, and it looks like they're dumping schools wholesale. One of the most well-known Laureate schools is Walden University, about which there are frequent inquiries here on DI. So, should you consider Walden for a degree at this point? Notwithstanding that I've always been against them (yes, merely because they are a for-profit), there is now one more reason not to consider them - you don't know if they'll even be around when you're ready to graduate.

I don't see any reason for alarm for any would be Walden grad here. CEC dumped a whole lot of underperforming schools to focus on their big earners. This is probably more of the same. It probably isn't worth the administrative burden to maintain accreditation on a school as small and niche as that St. Augustine Health Sciences thing they had. Walden is their money maker.
Here's a thing about Walden https://www.educationdive.com/news/laureates-walden-u-sets-sights-on-renewed-growth/560529/
Walden has its roots not in profit-making, but in the nontraditional higher education movement in the 1970s. But it ain't the 1970s anymore.
