    I agree that they are taking a laissez-faire approach. For now we will adopt their curriculum (which is great because we were moving to a JS only curriculum anyway) and their class schedule (till 8pm daily and class on Saturdays). We'll keep our name and staff as is. We'll likely adopt their admissions process, however, we're very proud of some aspects of our process and we're looking forward to see how the two can work together. No changes were made to any part of the program leading up to the acquisition.

  Although I haven't checked in a while, MS used to have a policy of allowing alumni (I went through the second cohort) to access the new curricula whenever updates were made. Will that still be possible? I'm interested to see some of the new materials.

    That will not be possible. Though alumni will be able to access the curriculum we developed prior to the acquisition.
