Highlights 

The presenter is short shares of PSON, which the speaker divides into 3 segments, North American courseware, growth (consisting of professional testing centers, and online platform management), and miscellaneous. Secular headwinds in higher education, which are expected to accelerate as a result of COVID-19, are projected to drive continued declines in both the US higher education and Online Platform Management segments, while most professional testing centers are currently disrupted as a result of COVID-19 shutdowns. Additionally, growth segments have margins substantially lower than the legacy US higher education segment.
