It's going to be interesting to see this Purdue purchase of Kaplan play out. You can't truly consider them non-profit because Kaplan still makes a profit, but Purdue backs it. Is it a public school then? Private non-profit? With Kaplan still getting paid a percentage it doesn't take away potentially perverse incentives.
As far as being taken serious by employers, I worry the opposite, actually, especially if I got a Master's degree from them -- employer's skipping over you because you are perceived a Purdue graduate that is over qualified.
There is no way a Purdue grad with a Master's would work in the roles or market I work in. Or worse, having to sheepishly explain that you didn't go to "that" Purdue after it hyping your resume up. They'll figure it it sooner or later where it really came from.
