The Education Department is fining Grand Canyon University a record $37.7 million for misleading more than 7,500 students about the cost of doctoral degree programs and violating federal law. “GCU’s lies harmed students, broke their trust, and led to unexpectedly high levels of student debt,” Richard Cordray, chief operating officer for Federal Student Aid, said in a statement. “Today, we are holding GCU accountable for its actions, protecting students and taxpayers, and upholding the integrity of the federal student aid programs.”
