That makes sense. It's like an airline. They've got the planes 
(== classrooms). They have certain costs and expectations 
of profitability -- less in the case of the Credentialling 
Sector, which increasingly depends upon casual labor, and 
doesn't have to keep Wall Street happy. But in either case, 
they've got to sell the seats in order to keep flying. 

Efficiency == filling the seats you've already 
bought. Growth == buying more seats to fill.
