Item 8.01               Other Events

On May 13, 2008, DeVry Inc. issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors had declared a semi-annual dividend on the company’s common stock of $0.06 per share, payable on July 10, 2008, to common stockholders of record as of June 19, 2008. The policy of the Board of Directors is that any payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent on the earnings and financial requirements of the Company and other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

In addition, the Company announced its Board of Directors authorized a new share repurchase program, which allows the company to buy back up to $50 million of its common stock through December 31, 2010. The timing and amount of any repurchase will be determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. These repurchases may be made through the open market, including block purchases, or in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. The buyback will be funded through available cash balances and/or borrowings, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

The full text of this press release is included in Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K.
