Short seller nicknamed ‘The Assassin' takes aim at for-profit college giant Adtalem

Short seller Fahmi Quadir has found her new target: the $2 billion market cap Adtalem Global Education. Adtalem is the successor to DeVry University, the for-profit education company that went public in 1991. In a new report exclusively obtained by CNBC, Quadir’s firm writes that Adtalem is “a toxic byproduct of an imperfect higher education system.”
