Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Griffin College, also referred to as Griffin Business College, was founded as a family-owned business college in Seattle, Washington in 1909. In 1986, Griffin was sold to Phillips Colleges, a national chain of 92 private schools. Aggressive expansion of the school coincided with accreditation renewal issues and eventually the college closed in 1993.
