Another for-profit closes — in the middle of the school day - Jarrett Carter, Education Dive

Missouri College is drawing headlines and controversy as administrators sent home students early during a school day this week, and then informed them the school would be closing immediately. Officials say the closure is a result of financial problems faced by its owning corporation, Weston Educational Inc., which also closed other campuses it owns. The for-profit school had operated for more than 50 years, providing healthcare and medical training for students in the region. Many of the unique programs are not offered elsewhere. http://www.educationdive.com/news/another-for-profit-closes-in-the-middle-of-the-school-day/429681/
