DeVry University Adopts ''College Code of Conduct'' Regarding Student Loans

    OAKBROOK TERRACE, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 23, 2007--DeVry
University announced today that is has joined other academic
institutions in adopting a new College Code of Conduct established by
the New York Attorney General's Office to ensure best practices in
student lending. The Illinois Attorney General's Office has joined
with the New York Attorney General's Office in recognizing DeVry
University's adoption of the Code.

    The Code of Conduct is consistent with DeVry University's longtime
approach of serving as an advocate for students to help them find the
resources to pay for their education.

    "Our financial aid practices are guided by the overriding
principle of doing what's right for our students," said Daniel
Hamburger, president and CEO of DeVry Inc. "Our goal has always been
and continues to be to help students find the resources necessary to
finance their education to meet their individual needs."

    The New York Attorney General has focused on relationships between
higher education institutions and student loan providers designated as
"preferred lenders" by these institutions for their students.

    An internal DeVry University review prompted by a February inquiry
from the New York Attorney General's office determined that during the
2004-2005 academic year, DeVry University received $88,122 in
revenue-sharing fees associated with a single private loan program
from one of its preferred lenders at the time, Citibank. This private
loan program was distinct from the university's need-based financial
aid program. Citibank already was on the list of nine preferred
lenders at the time the revenue-sharing agreement was put into effect
and received no special consideration. DeVry has not accepted any fees
as a result of revenue-sharing agreements with other lenders.

    In adherence to the Code of Conduct and a settlement agreement
with the Attorneys General of New York and Illinois, DeVry University
will disburse $88,122 to borrowers who took out these private loans in
2004-2005 to help cover costs of their DeVry education at campuses
throughout the country. And under the new Code of Conduct, the
university will continue its current policy of not accepting fees from
lenders.

    DeVry also determined that in the past, preferred lenders have on
occasion paid expenses for its student finance staff to attend
seminars, training sessions and advisory board meetings. DeVry will
absorb such costs in the future in accordance with the Code of
Conduct.

    DeVry emphasized that no employee has received any form of
consideration from a lender such as stock, payments for consulting
work or honoraria for sitting on a lender advisory board.

    Further, under terms of the agreement signed with the New York and
Illinois Attorneys General, DeVry University does not admit, and
expressly denies, any wrongdoing.

    DeVry University maintains a preferred lender list as a service to
students and selects the lenders through open and competitive requests
for proposals. The preferred list helps students sort through an array
of loan offers they may receive. The university designates preferred
lenders based on their ability to provide services including the
following:

    - Competitive rates and terms for students

    - Access to and reliable delivery of both federal and private
funds

    - High-quality customer service.

    DeVry makes it clear to students that they are free to take out
loans from any lender, and encourages those with existing lender
relationships to continue them.

    "We agree with the goal of Attorneys General Andrew Cuomo and Lisa
Madigan of ensuring the integrity of the student loan industry, and
would further support our public officials in addressing overall
higher education access and affordability," commented Hamburger.
"Increasing student access and participation in higher education is
one of our nation's most critical challenges."

    In fiscal 2006, DeVry University disbursed more than $725 million
in financial aid funds to its students, an increase of more than 10
percent over the prior year. DeVry University is dedicated to helping
its students gain access to higher education by providing a number of
options for students to finance their education.
