Career Education Corporation Announces Realignment of Resources
HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Career Education Corporation (NASDAQ: CECO) today announced the creation
of the Shared Services Group to further leverage the company's size and
optimize functional expertise in the delivery of quality education and
student outcomes. This realignment of resources will aid in driving
greater consistency, efficiency and effectiveness in common services
across the organization. The group will report to Mike Graham, Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
As part of the realignment, Career Education Corporation will reorganize
its University Strategic Business Unit (SBU). A number of the services
currently provided by the University SBU to American InterContinental
University (AIU), Colorado Technical University (CTU) and the Art &
Design institutions will be delivered by the Shared Services Group in
accordance with existing service agreements.
The creation of a broader, enterprise-wide Shared Services Group,
performing many of the same services centralized under the University
SBU, provides the opportunity to remove a layer of management in the
University SBU and enables Gary E. McCullough, President and Chief
Executive Officer, to work more closely with the individual leaders of
the institutions that comprised the University SBU. As a result, Deborah
Lenart, Senior Vice President, University SBU, will leave the company.
These changes are consistent with Career Education Corporation's goal of
continuing to manage costs while simultaneously investing in key areas
to support achievement of its long-term objectives.
