Dept of Education fines largest Christian university in US for deceptive advertising

The Department of Education has fined Grand Canyon University (GCU), the largest Christian university in the US, $37.7 million for misleading over 7,500 former and current students about the cost of its doctoral programs. An investigation found that GCU "falsely advertised" a lower cost, with about 98% of students paying more than the advertised amount. GCU has a 20-day deadline to request a hearing or respond to the fine. The university claims it is being unfairly targeted by federal agencies and plans to appeal the fine.
