Caltech has settled a class-action lawsuit over a cybersecurity boot camp that falsely advertised its connection to the university, agreeing to improve transparency and end its partnership with Simplilearn, amid concerns about misleading marketing practices in higher education.
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.
