Classic corporate deflection: blame internal mismanagement, not market forces
"Financial mismanagement" is the corporate equivalent of "my dog ate the homework" ā a vague internal scapegoat that obscures structural realities facing the education sector. No mention of AI, no mention of enrollment declines or demographic shifts, just a sanitized blame-shift that protects the company's public narrative while 45 people lose their livelihoods.
