The Higher Education Inquirer has received a cease-and-desist letter from lawyers representing Chip Paucek and the Pro Athlete Community (PAC). Out of respect for PAC co-CEO Kaleb Thornhill and members of PAC, we have removed the article. However, we stand by all the facts of the story and our characterizations about Mr. Paucek, the former CEO of 2U and Smarterville (aka Hooked on Phonics). These characterizations are based on information and opinions obtained from experts in the education business in addition to publicly available business records and government records, to include earnings call transcripts, consumer lawsuits, and citizen/consumer testimony.
Great work, Dahn!
ReplyDeleteI wonder who else Paucek's hired guns are going after?
As for NFL athletes, after all those brain concussions and head injuries that we've been reading about, maybe Paucek thinks they are easy targets!
Good question. It does present a chilling effect for news outlets.
