Case Summary:This settlement resolves a class action against Adtalem Global Education Group, Inc. and DeVry University, Inc. alleging that the companies made false statements about the outcomes of education at DeVry, in order to get students to enroll and pay more than they would have otherwise. According to the complaint, the companies fraudulently advertised (1) that 90% of their graduates were employed in their fields of study within six months of graduation, and (2) that, on average, DeVry graduates earned 15% more a year after graduation than those who graduated from other institutions.
