DC Examiner: UDC offering to take over Southeastern U., source says

The University of the District of Columbia has made a takeover offer for D.C.’s Southeastern University, The Examiner has learned.

UDC’s new president, Allen Sessoms, and its board chair, Jim Dyke, met with Southeastern’s board chair, J.R. Clark, about a month ago and offered to absorb Southeastern, a source with intimate knowledge of the talks told The Examiner.
