Goldie Blumenstyk raises some of the many questions raised by this week's $800 million sale of EdX. Among the concerns: how will the money be spent - because EdX was a non-profit, it can't be kept as profit. "We know precious little about what the new nonprofit plans to do with this gargantuan infusion of cash," she writes. Also, what do we do about 2U "gaining access to a vast database of potential learners?.. Talk about a marketing channel." How will 2U use EdX? "Although 2U said it would operate edX within the company as a "public-benefit entity," I can't tell you exactly what's been promised because that isn't public."
