Adtalem Global Education's Soaring Price Target Sparks Concern Over Corporate Greed and Educational Equity

In what seems to be a triumph for corporate profit over public education, Adtalem Global Education (NYSE:ATGE) has seen its price target astonishingly raised from $95.00 to $115.00, according to a report by Barrington Research, as noted by Benzinga. This decision underscores the growing fear among advocates for affordable education that the prioritization of shareholder wealth could further exacerbate the accessibility gap in higher education. Critics argue that focus should instead be directed towards making education more affordable and accessible to all, rather than enriching corporate stakeholders.
