Issues
The institution's name change to South College resulted in a 2002 legal dispute with Sewanee: The University of the South, which had registered the name "The University of the South" with the U.S. Patent Office.[41] The issue was resolved in 2003 with both schools retaining their names.[42]
In 2015, EDMC, South University's former parent company, agreed to forgive more than $100.8 million in student loan debt held by more than 80,000 former students.[43] U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton of the Western District of Pennsylvania stated that 'Companies cannot enrich their corporate coffers at the expense of students seeking a quality education, or on the backs of taxpayers who are funding our critical financial aid programs ... 'Today's global settlement sends an unmistakable message to all forprofit education companies: the United States will aggressively ferret out fraud and protect innocent students and taxpayer dollars from this kind of egregious abuse.'[44]
In December 2016, South University was placed on probation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools due to financial concerns regarding its parent company at the time, EDMC.[45] .[46] South University was removed from probation in December 2017 after the sale to Dream Center Education Holdings and its conversion to not-for-profit status.[47] On January 22, 2019 South University fired a large majority of their workforce including the closing of their online support staff located in Chandler, Arizona.
