In January 2016, a class-action lawsuit was filed against DeVry University for allegedly misleadingly advertising students’ post-graduation job prospects, employability, and earnings potential. According to the complaint, DeVry misleadingly advertises that 90 percent of its graduates who actively seek employment have jobs in their field of study within six months of graduation when, in reality, that percentage includes, for example, an MBA graduate with a specialization in health services management working as a server in a restaurant, as well as graduates who are working as unpaid volunteers. (Rayter et al v. DeVry Education Group Inc. and DeVry University, Inc., Case No. 16-cv-507, N. D. CA.)
