Due to declining enrollment, Kaplan University said Wednesday it is laying off 200 admissions workers, primarily in its Fort Lauderdale, Plantation and Boca Raton offices. Kaplan has been downsizing as it struggles with fallen enrollment and investigations into its sales tactics.
"We've taken the necessary steps to reduce our workforce … to stabilize after a period of decline," said Stephen White, spokesman. He said the layoffs are about 2 percent of Kaplan's total employment nationwide.
