Dept of Education fines largest Christian university in US for 'falsely advertised' cost of doctoral program
Fox News
The Department of Education announced a $37.7 million fine against Grand Canyon University for lying about the cost of its doctoral programs.
The press release stated GCU "falsely advertised" a lower cost for its doctoral programs, adding that about 98% of students ended up paying more than the advertised cost. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.

"GCU lied about the cost of its doctoral programs to attract students to enroll," FSA Chief Operating Officer Richard Cordray said. "FSA takes its oversight responsibilities seriously. GCU’s lies harmed students, broke their trust, and led to unexpectedly high levels of student debt. Today, we are holding GCU accountable for its actions, protecting students and taxpayers, and upholding the integrity of the federal student aid programs."
