Wow, didn't expect them to spend so much money on marketing. Given that they are now registered as a public benefit corporation wouldn't this money be better spent as "scholarships" or something for their courses for students who can't afford the fees. I would assume that if they are actually providing a worthwhile public service, then word of mouth should bring in enough users rather than having to spend most of their opex on marketing.
