The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday, accuses\u200d the university of\u200b deceptive advertising practices and misrepresenting the costs of its doctoral programs.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Grand \u2062Canyon deceived students by holding itself out as\u200d a non-profit institution\u2063 and misrepresenting the costs\u2062 and number of courses\u2062 required to earn doctoral \u2062degrees,&#8221; said Samuel Levine, Director\u2064 of the FTC&#8217;s Bureau of\u2062 Consumer Protection.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The government alleges \u2064that the university failed to disclose the\u2062 true costs \u2064of its &#8220;continuation\u200d courses,&#8221; which \u2064significantly add to the \u200bpublicly disclosed cost of the\u2062 degree. This lawsuit \u2063marks the second legal action taken \u2064by the Biden\u200d administration against\u200b Grand \u2064Canyon University \u2063regarding its doctoral programs.<\/p>\n<p>Grand \u2062Canyon University, which transitioned \u200dto a for-profit status\u2064 in the late 2000s, has been seeking to regain its nonprofit status. While the Internal Revenue Service granted the school nonprofit status, \u2063the Department of Education \u200bhas yet to approve it. The university has sued the \u200ddepartment in an effort to compel recognition\u200b of the change.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2063university claims that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/prosecutors-and-judge-involved-in-trump-indictments-see-number-of-threats\/\" title=\"Prosecutors and judge in Trump indictments face threats.\">ongoing legal \u2064battles<\/a>\u2064 with the Biden administration are part of a deliberate targeting \u2062campaign. In response to the FTC lawsuit, the university accused the Biden administration of &#8220;weaponizing federal government agencies&#8221;\u2064 to target institutions they oppose ideologically.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Given the major \u200dproblems that exist in higher\u200c education related to high \u2062tuition costs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gen-z-a-generation-of-social-unskilled-young-adults-who-fear-climate-change-and-still-live-with-their-parents\/\" title=\"Gen Z: Socially Conscious, Inexperienced Youth Fearing Climate Change, Residing with Parents\">significant student debt<\/a>,\u200d poor student loan default rates, long completion \u2064times,\u2064 etc., it is baffling \u2064that the federal government \u200chas\u200b chosen\u2062 to target a Christian\u2062 university that is addressing those issues in very \u2064positive ways,&#8221; the university stated.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the\u200d pending fine and litigation costs, Grand Canyon University \u2063recently announced that\u200c it \u2064will\u200c not raise tuition for\u2062 the 16th consecutive\u200c year.

However, the FTC alleges that the university\u2064 was operating \u200cas a\u200b for-profit\u200b institution, \u2064thus misleading students who believed they were attending a non-profit university.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2063 lawsuit also accuses the university of misrepresenting \u2064the costs \u200band number of courses required \u200cto earn\u200d doctoral degrees. Grand Canyon University allegedly provided incomplete and misleading information to prospective students, leading them to believe that the \u2063programs were more affordable and required fewer courses than they actually did. \u2062As a result, many students ended up taking \u200con \u200csignificant financial burdens \u2064and \u2063investing more time and effort\u200d than they initially anticipated.<\/p>\n<p>This legal \u200caction \u2064by the Biden administration is part of a larger effort to crack down on deceptive\u200b practices \u2064in the\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/can-rosensweig-why-tech-is-the-solution-to-the-student-debt-dilemma\/\" title=\"Can Rosensweig: Why Tech Is the Solution to the Student-Debt Dilemma\">higher education sector<\/a>. The president has consistently \u2063emphasized the importance\u200c of providing affordable and quality education to all \u200bAmericans, and holding institutions accountable for their actions is a\u200b critical \u200bstep in achieving that goal.<\/p>\n<p>Grand Canyon University, founded in 1949, has grown to become a significant player in the Christian higher education field. With tens of thousands of students enrolled in its online and on-campus programs, the university\u2062 has built \u200da reputation \u2063for itself as a provider of quality education with a strong emphasis on Christian values.<\/p>\n<p>The allegations\u2062 made in the lawsuit against Grand \u200bCanyon University raise serious concerns about the integrity and transparency of the \u200cinstitution. Students who\u200d trusted the university to provide\u2062 them with\u200c an affordable and meaningful education\u200d were allegedly deceived, resulting in significant\u200b financial and emotional hardship.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration&#8217;s decision to take legal action sends a clear message to universities and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/heres-what-each-of-bidens-42-executive-orders-will-actually-do\/\" title=\"Here\u2019s What Each Of Biden\u2019s 42 Executive Orders Will Actually Do\">higher education institutions<\/a>: deceptive \u200dpractices will not be tolerated.\u200b Protecting students from misleading advertising and ensuring they have accurate information about the costs and requirements of their education is\u200b crucial.<\/p>\n<p>As the lawsuit proceeds, it\u200b is essential that \u200bGrand Canyon University\u2063 cooperates fully with the FTC and commits to rectifying any deceptive practices. The university\u2063 must take responsibility for \u2063its actions\u2064 and prioritize the well-being of its students.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the Biden\u200c administration&#8217;s lawsuit against Grand Canyon University highlights the importance of transparency and integrity in the higher education sector. Deceptive practices not\u200d only harm students financially but \u2062also erode trust in \u200dthe education system as a whole. It is crucial that universities are held accountable for their\u200d actions and that students have access to accurate and\u2062 truthful information when making decisions about\u200c their education.
