Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On May 30, 2006, we received a letter from the Civil Division of the U.S. Department of Justice advising us that it is reviewing allegations that certain of our schools may have submitted false claims or statements to the U.S. Department of Education. The letter requests that we provide documents relating to representations made to current or prospective students at certain designated schools regarding job placement or placement rates and the costs of attending school. The letter also requests that we provide documents relating to the compensation structure of admissions personnel, the use of Pell Grant funds at one school and the calculation of student refunds at another school. The Justice Department has indicated that this review is informational in nature. We plan to cooperate fully with this investigation.

 

The information contained in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and it shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
