The suit stated that Corinthian's "own records show that a substantial percentage
of students do not complete the programs and, of those who complete the program,
a large majority do not successfully obtain employment within six months after
completing the course." In late July, Corinthian Colleges agreed to pay $6.5
million to settle a lawsuit alleging that the chain engaged in unlawful business
practices by exaggerating its record of placing students in well-paying jobs;
the amount included $5.8 million in restitution to students as well as $500,000
in civil damages and $200,000 in court costs. |

In July 2007, the California Attorney General threatened to file suit against Corinthian
Colleges, corporate parent of Everest College, unless it settled allegations
that it has misrepresented its placement statistics; the school had been
under investigation by the state attorney general's office for over 18 months.
According to a case filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Corinthian Colleges
"engaged in a persistent pattern of unlawful conduct" by overstating the percentage
of those who obtained employment from its courses, inflated information
on starting salaries and made misleading or false statements about which programs
it was authorized to offer and which were approved by the California Department
of Education. |
