Hilbert completes acquisition of Valley College

[bjcheung77]

Hilbert College (private Franciscan) acquires Valley College (for profit), boots offerings, and basically doubles their enrollment... amazingly, both of these institutions had about a 20% growth over the previous year, so they're doing 'some things' correctly. One question remains though, are they going to convert Valley into a non-profit any time soon?!

I see it difficult in the long run that the Franciscans keep a for profit being a mendicant order (O. friar minor). I do not see St Francis of Assisi running a for profit even in his wildest dreams. Time will tell.
