The American Culinary Federation (ACF) and the Center for the Advancement of Foodservice Education (CAFÉ) have agreed to a partnership focusing on education and events.

National Louis University (NLU), Laureate Education, Inc. and Kendall College, LLC announced last month they have entered into an agreement whereby Kendall College's current programs and other assets will transfer to NLU. The boards of NLU and Kendall approved this arrangement, with the additional agreement of Kendall's parent company, Laureate Education, Inc. This transfer of programs is contingent on regulatory approvals, including that of the U.S. Department of Education and the Higher Learning Commission, whose decision is expected the latter half of this year, but possibly as soon as the summer.
