Thread regarding DeVry Inc. layoffs

Defrauded DeVry students are being repaid

"The Federal Trade Commission began mailing more than $49 million in refund checks to former DeVry University students Wednesday as part of a settlement between the for-profit institution and the agency. DeVry agreed to the $100 million settlement after the FTC sued the institution for its use of employment statistics in advertising."

@O8swy6k-1vlt - I've heard it in different conversations as well as outside of DeVry. I'm just putting the pieces together.

Mine was a little better, $582, but that's seriously a joke. I had a phone interview a few weeks ago. The HR rep I talked to laughed at the fact I went to DeVry, she only talked to me because of my experience.

@O8swy6k-txv, how do you know that they're trying to sell DVU? Is it speculation or have you seen something?

With the parent company trying to sell DeVry, who would want to buy such de-famed school. I guess at a deep discount.

I received that Email too and I should qualify, but if you do the simple math, 49 Million, to 173K students, it's about $284 a person. I'm curious when I get mine and what it will actually be.
