Does this company believe it will retain US school contracts while sell/move its headquarters outside of the US? That is a ploy to not pay US taxes while receiving most of its revenue from US taxes in some form either directly or indirectly. That will sell well if at all. There will be a campaign against that.

If the ownership goes off shore in one form or another as the rumors suggest do not worry about informing the market.
So how do we educate new students and their parents? A "smart textbook buying" website?
It's not just IT folks. Portions of Finance were outsourced a few years back...using the company that wanted in to KM's department.
I think that the school administration should know the direction Follett is taking, but I think this is a grass roots issue. I think this is a situation where students and parents could really fight back for us. Not spending with Follett would be the strongest message.
Considering Follett's text prices...
I think the place actually to start is high school - and prior to acceptance letter season. It's the first year students, arriving with Mom and Dad, that rely on the school bookstore to help them get everything they need (that they can't get at Walmart). If Mom and Dad were better informed, then they'd make a better choice.
Just sayin'....
There not moving the company offshore - that would affect ML and others personally. They are just outsourcing all of IT to India.
