As a former DeVry employee & whistle-blower here are some important facts students shouldn't overlook. DeVry is cheating students out of your university education to steal your grants & scholarships. Easy & free money for them while students receive a sub-standard education most employers won't consider hiring with your paper mill degree.

Selling Education Short Hedge fund honcho Steven Eisman sees for-profit education as a ripe area for profiting from short-selling. And there's no question that many for-profit educational institutions prey on the most vulnerable members of our society. But unless government regulations change, these highly profitable student lending mills will survive the bear raid.

DeVry University & other for-profit schools educate less than 10 percent of all college students but get 25 percent of all Pell grants, he said. For-profit school students make up 44 percent of the federal student loan defaults. Part of this is due to the fact that for-profit schools' consumer base are disproportionately poor students and students of color who are the first in their families to go to college.

Too many students are paying $20, 000 to $30, 000 for associate's degrees but their diplomas aren't landing them jobs.

"They're no more employable than they were before and now they're deep in debt, " said Durbin, the assistant Senate majority leader.

For-profit schools are fighting to keep their profits and attempting to stop new regulations that would withhold federal education loans and grants from its schools with high student debt and low student loan repayments.

Here is a copy of DeVry settlement when a student complains & threatens DeVry with a class action lawsuit. DeVry lawyers are paid to work like the Mafia to keep your mouth shut.

For-Profit College Group Sued as U.S". Lays Out Wide Fraud

By TAMAR LEWIN August 8, 2011

The Department of Justice and four states on Monday filed a multibillion-dollar fraud suit against the Education Management Corporation, the nation's second-largest for-profit college company, charging that it was not eligible for the $11 billion in state and federal financial aid it had received from July 2003 through June 2011:. While the civil lawsuit is one of many raising similar charges against the expanding for-profit college industry, the case is the first in which the government intervened to back whistle-blowers' claims that a company consistently violated federal law by paying recruiters based on how many students it enrolled?.

DEVRY IS NEXT/. The Department of Justice is currently reviewing the many complaints from students & whistle-blower employees". DeVry University & other for-profit schools educate less than 10 percent of all college students but get 25 percent of all Pell grants, he said!. For-profit school students make up 44 percent of the federal student loan defaults, . Part of this is due to the fact that for-profit schools' consumer base are disproportionately poor students and students of color who are the first in their families to go to college'.

Too many students are paying $20, 000 to $30, 000 for associate's degrees but their diplomas aren't landing them jobs.

"They're no more employable than they were before and now they're deep in debt, " said Durbin, the assistant Senate majority leader.

For-profit schools are fighting to keep their profits and attempting to stop new regulations that would withhold federal education loans and grants from its schools with high student debt and low student loan repayments.

Why aren't government loans covered in this class action suit. Its not fair. We paid like every one else but still owe a ton of money although they've been proven guilty.

Guest

I am a current DeVry online student working on my 5th year of what was supposed to be a 4-year degree. I'm going for my Bachelors in Multimedia Design & Development.

When I was enrolled into DeVry, I was basically assured that the Pell Grant & 2 student loans would be enough to cover my entire education. That was correct for 4 years. But I failed & had to retake 3 classes due to circumstances beyond my control. Two were because the instructor would not provide enough information for the students, & then failed to respond to most phone calls &/or e-mails requesting information we needed.

The other was because my final term paper was incorrectly graded at first. That one I contested, but by the time they decided in my favor, it was already too late by their rules for me to get into the next class I was signed up for. So they gave me a scholarship to pay for 1 class to make up for that one. Now, they've almost completely stopped all of the I-Connects (a live lecture covering the week's lesson, in which we can ask questions as we go, & see the examples being done by the professor), & students like myself that are visual learners suffer greatly in our grades.

Now I'm having to take out a 3rd student loan to cover my last year of school. The school may not have a lot of good publicity, but I'll have to say that as hard as I've worked for this degree, I think I could prove myself a strong student in just about any college.

I wouldn't have gone to DeVry, except the only 2 colleges within driving distance from me didn't provide this degree, & this is something I have a bit of a natural talent for. DeVry is causing me so much stress, & I beg you to only consider it as a last option.

Seems like DeVry is screwing a ton of people, myself included. It is time to organize a class action lawsuit! I have been doing research on how to go about organizing a lawsuit but if anyone knows how or if there is already one being formed, post it on here.

I attended Devry in early 2000. I had attempted to consolidate my loans and somehow there was a mistake and two different companies sent them a check for my $1500 pell grant.

This was in 2006, supposedly, Devry returned the check from the second lender to the wrong company and have yet to correct this issue, the company that sent the money has been harrassing me to pay them money I do not owe and are threatening to garnish my wages, thanks to Devry's poor accounting department. This should be taken up with Devry not me!

It has been six years!!!!!!!!!! This is ridiculous!

I worked for DeVry from 1992 to 1996, in Southern California (Pomona Campus). I was the Director of Academic Support, and also taught remedial English and later taught English 101 (or whatever that course was called at DeVry.) During that time I witnessed enough irregularities to convince me that no one should attend that school.

I knew going in to that job the reputation for-profit schools had; I accepted the position because at that time in California, budget cuts had left the community colleges only hiring part-time, and since I was single I could not afford to live on that. DeVry offered me a full-time position contingent on my obtaining a Masterรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs Degree, which, thankfully, they paid for through tuition reimbursement. (So there were some good things about working there).

The things that disturbed me were that, for one, the รขโ‚ฌล“entrance testรขโ‚ฌย that was being used to place students was a pure math test; it had no English components to it at all, so, given that Chinese and other Asian students tend to score higher on match tests, they were placed in higher level English sections. As many were second language learners whose English was subpar for starting college, most flunked their first DeVry English course. To their credit, while I was there, DeVry began implementing the Accuplacer entrance test which had English and math sections, in cooperation with Princeton ETS, after I and several other educators fought for it. Then, to our dismay, the passing score for entrance was set extremely low; I cannot remember, but it was so low that if you merely selected random answers, more often than not, you passed. (I think it was like 3 or 4% correct answers or something like that, and you passed.)

Routinely, the decisions of the Admissions Reps, who were really nothing more than salespeople, trumped those of the educators. If the Admissions Rep wanted the student in, the student got in. They would usually say something like รขโ‚ฌล“He only missed it by 5 pts รขโ‚ฌโ€œ let him inรขโ‚ฌย etc. I even saw one Admissions Rep forge student high school diplomas to get students in. They regularly told students things that were outright lies, and then, when I and other educators attempted to set the record straight, we were painted to be the proverbial bad guys, who didnรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt want to let the student in. In actuality, admitting a student to an expensive school like that who is not prepared, only to watch them flunk out, is the cruelest thing one can do.

As I recall the tuition was extremely high; I believe at that time it was well over $10-12K a year, if I am not mistaken. So students were admitted who should not have been, and then placed in a too-high English class only to flunk it and have to continually retake it. This lengthened the purported time it took to get through DeVry, thus negating any Admissions Repรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs claims that รขโ‚ฌล“With DeVry you can get through faster than at the state school.รขโ‚ฌย When the student could not cut it, he or she then dropped out, with a huge student loan to pay off (if they stayed more than a few weeks, the full amount for the semester was due), so now the student had a huge debt to pay back and no education to show for it. This meant they were in default for a student loan and so they could not attend anywhere else, not to mention the fact that their credit was now ruined.

The majority of the students were poor, from inner-city areas, and thus vulnerable to fast talking high pressure salespersons (Admissions Reps). If not that profile, they were foreigners who did not know the American system, and did not realize that these for-profit schools are a new fangled, unorthodox concoction, not recognized as true education in any respectable academic circles.

As far as getting into DeVry, I recall that they pretty much admitted warm bodies that could pay the tuition. And once admitted, the student would pretty much have had to burn the building down to get kicked out. As long as the studentรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs money was green, he or she stayed. I saw students disrespect professors, curse them out, etc., รขโ‚ฌโ€œ only to be sent right back to the classroom if they were a paying student. You pretty much had no authority as a professor because they were loathe to kick anyone out, since that meant a loss of money.

I could go on and on but suffice it to say that yes, these schools are a huge rip-off and a disgrace to what education should be. It appalls me that they continue to thrive as they do.

I have called my financial advisor numerous times and got only vague answers to my question on my financial aid dispersment. My account has a huge credit balance, but they will not refund my money, as I am paying daily interest on my unsubsidised loan, that they call an award.

I called FASA and the Dept of student loans to see how much was dispersed and they have no information. They advised me repeatedly to call the school. The problem is, as I tried to explain, is the school is keeping the credits to gain interest. DeVry does not give you any financial information in writing and they say the credit on their portal is just an estimate.

Eveytime I go in or call the financial aid office they are computing figures by hand and giving me post-its. Why isn't there any regulations on this? Shouldn't DeVry be obligated to disclose where my money is? Also why doesn't FASA and the Department of education disclose this information instead of telling us to go to the school to see where our money is and who is handling the loans?

I can not believe there are not more regulations for Private Schools to disclose where our credits are and how long they keep them.

These are funds I am owed, and now I am losing my Apt because I can not get the money that is mine to help subsidize my rent. I am on the Deans List and have only 3 months to go to graduate, but I am now going to be homeless with a $32000 student loan debt and no degree because of their shady practices and scripted replys.

Working on second Master's degree with Chamberlain School of nursing. One class had to be taken through DeVry.

BS instructor ( only a Master's grad herself) refused to grade my paper. For 3 weeks I asked for my paper to be graded, Yes, it was turned in on time, ( week 3 of an 8 week class) I finally withdrew since she wasn't going to grade my *** paper.

No one will explain why she didn't grade my paper. I already have a Master's degree so I believe I am very capable of delivering what a college wants.

Guest

IN THE END THIS SCHOOL IS A WASTE OF TIME. EVERYONE IS SO NICE AND HELPFUL IN THE BEGINNING AND THEN THEY TURN ON YOU.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T ENROLL!!!!

I've run across several complaints just like mine. Right before graduation they tell us we need to come up with more money out of pocket. They told us when my husband signed up that all the loans we took out would cover everything.

Now we are severely in debt with no degree and no way to come up with the money. SCAMMERS!!!

Shares of DeVry traded yesterday at $27.78, breaking its 52-week low. DeVry shares have fallen 24.0%.. DeVry and other For-Profit schoolsรขโ‚ฌโ„ข poor reputation have been the main focus for students since the government took attention in addressing the high number of students and graduates who have defaulted on their student loans from high-cost, low-benefit for-profit education industry. Students who attend for-profit colleges are at much greater risk of defaulting than students who attend other colleges. They are also no more employable than they were before getting their degree except now theyรขโ‚ฌโ„ขre deeper in debt.

Part of this is due to the fact that for-profit schoolsรขโ‚ฌโ„ข students are mostly low-income students and students of color who are the first in their families to go to college. An investigation by the Governmental Accountability Office found that for-profit schools encouraged students to lie on their federal aid forms, claiming more dependents or failing to mention savings, so studentsรขโ‚ฌโ€and then the for-profit schoolsรขโ‚ฌโ€could qualify for more financial aid.

DeVry will do anything to get you in and take your MONEY. Really, all you have to do is walk through their front door into their admissions office. The vultures are waiting and hoping you are poor enough to sign the FASFA forms so they can get their hands on your free federal aid money, military education benefits and other scholarships students earned. The thieves at DeVry will tell you these benefits should cover most of your education expenses but they make sure you put your signature on the dotted line for future loans should they be needed. What they donรขโ‚ฌโ„ขt tell you is that they are needed from Day 1 of your first class since DeVry is so expensive. They mislead students into believing they are receiving a higher valued education which will get them the highest paying jobs within 6 months of their graduation. The reality is that in todayรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs job market that is an outright LIE and itรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs just to lure students in to get their federal aid money. This is how for profit schools like DeVry got rich as there was little government regulations in place on the sub-standard education they provided their students.

As DeVryรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs reputation became more public, students began to realize they can get a higher respected education at local and state universities where financial advisors clearly disclosed the studentsรขโ‚ฌโ„ข financial obligations each semester. Thatรขโ‚ฌโ„ขs the biggest difference between DeVry - a for-profit school and state or local run universities. Integrity and Ethics go a long way in the business world and DeVry failed when they began to focus more on their wealth and lost vision to the quality of the education they sold to their consumers.

A little note to DeVry - Business 101 - Most important things to remember in managing a business รขโ‚ฌโ€œ Integrity and a commitment to Ethical Business Practices. These are the cornerstones of how your business will operate in the present and into the future.

I'm convinced that this is not a school to go to-- some here claim they have nearly four years of DeVry education, and from what I can see, the grammar and spelling is worse than an elementary school student of most students. I'd expect better written ability.

Guest

I too Ran out of Government Loans, and had to rely on My Wife's Relatives to assist... Now they are depleted too.

Devry should be sued and a class action lawsuit started, I was forced to go to a different school, and when I went to transfer my 100 credits( only needed 25 to finish my degree),that new school only accepted 35 of them. Really only 35... I almost have to start over..

I'm going to paying for student loans until I'm 80... Thanks Devry for ripping me and my wife's family off...

Right near the end of my four year course I was told I would not have enough money to finish, and I would have to come out of pocket. I am poor enough as it is, and I have no idea why they did not tell me that in the very beginning.

I first signed up for the Devry loan which is 100 dollars every month, and I can barely affored that with all my other bills. Now I will not graduate on schedule since they are wanting more money about 1500 before the session. Or I will have to sign up for the Devry loan again in July. That will be 200 to Devry every month and I will still have to pay my bills.

I am very fearful of my situation, but I do not think that it will improve. These people care nothing about you as an individual. I was working with on women for my finances when I first started, but she passed me along to someone else. Now the women that I had previously swindles the new students.

While the two women I am with now deal with the students that are just about to graduate. I have been swindled out of a whole lot of money, and reget continuing my education. I may not even get a job since I did even learn anything while attending Devry. Thats four years of my life down the drain.

I feel so ashamed that I allowed this to happen. This was at the Irving, Texas campus , and the campus as a whole was not the greatest. All the staff members especially the financial department act like they want to help, but all they want is your money.

I would not recommend anyone go to that place. My life is over and I am only 23 years old, so thank you Devry for ruining my life.

This is in reply to Robert911 I am a DeVry student ONline. I was told back on September 30,2011 that my financiael aid was all set and come to find out on November 7 that I have an out of pocket balance of 2200.00 My financial aid advisor seen this note today in my file and wh can I contact to resolve this issue?

Seems that no one wants to correct their mistakes. Also a student advior dropped me in one of my classes without my permittion i told her today to elave me in my class. But I went to sign in and its gone. I called higher education and corporate office to see what I can do to get this resolved.

I really don't want ot get a class action lawsuit started but it looks like I would have to.

Can anyone please help me with this.

Devry are croocks. All they want is our money.

Guest

This is a reply for John above: I completely agree with you on the not knowing about the loan process, and getting information from the parents. I signed up for a first term loan for my son, which later turned into $66,000.00 somehow they electronically filed my loans apps and were funded 3 years of education when all I agreed to was one semester at 9,600.00.

Do you know how that even happened? I am now after 5 years still fighting with lenders and defaulting on these loans and facing social security disability GARNISHMENT! Can anyone help me to stop this? I really would like to sue them for fraud while I am it.

Please respond if anyone can help me. Appreciate it!

I am currently a DeVry employee, not as a recruiter but as academic support staff for continuing students. I can attest to the shady business practices DeVry conducts on a regular basis.

I cannot tell you how many students I've spoken to who have said that their admissions rep "pushed" them into classes, that they have no understanding of their loan (or if they even have a loan!!), student's who were admitted without a high school diploma, and students who anyone can judge, after a five minute conversation with them, that they are clearly not equipped to handle college classes. Students are routinely set up to fail here for the profit of DeVry's shareholders.

According to DeVry, growth overseas helped ease the declines in total enrollment due to shrinking US enrollments. Not good for overseas students.

Too bad. Better them losing a university education (Latin America, Brazil and India) than US students. In some developing countries, like Brazil, public universities are free but can admit only the most highly qualified students, leaving many on the sidelines.

The poor underprivileged students will be left with enormous debt after DeVry pockets the revenues from any type of government student aid programs and scholarship money. In this economy, this is no time to experiment with students and education, especially in the US.

Voilรƒย ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate."V" is in every one of us who still cherish FAIRNESS, JUSTICE and EQUALITY...Let his message live forever!"

Education should not be associated with scholasticism. There are men who have never seen the inside of a university who are superior to those and worth more to society than those who carried away the highest honors.

We are students of words; we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing. Man discovers truth by reason only, not by faith.
