Arist is a division of the large German publishing conglomerate, Bertelsmann, but Ryan Craig, who runs an investment firm called University Ventures, told me that his firm manages the school on behalf of Bertelsmann and other passive investors.

He thought it implausible, but then acknowledged that he was not privy to the materials that were sent to the agency.
