New addition to the posting:
Update: In an earlier version of this story, we erroneously reported that McGraw-Hill's education business was being purchased by Apollo Global, which owns the for-profit University of Phoenix. McGraw-Hill's education business is actually being purchased by Apollo Global Management, an unrelated firm. We regret the error.

What the impact will be on the curriculum accessibility space is uncertain but definitely will slow the progress that has been made.

When you are having a reallly tough day, take a time out and think about what you have contributed to the lives of those that you have worked with.
Many times it is just a baby step forward, but even that is progress!

Actually,
If you revisit the article, they've made a revision. It's not the same group, slightly different name. They've corrected the article to reflect that fact.
