Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	7. Income Taxes Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations were 85.3% and 37.6% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and 22.1% and 20.5% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rates in fiscal years 2020 and 2019 reflect the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% adjusted for foreign rate differences, benefits associated with local tax incentives, changes in valuation allowances and liabilities for uncertain tax positions, and tax benefits on stock-based compensation awards. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, we were unable to record a tax benefit on a pre-tax unrealized loss of $28.0 million from a derivative contract related to the deal-contingent hedge agreement on the pending Adtalem Brazil sale (see Note 4 “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” for additional information). Three of Adtalem’s operating units benefit from local tax incentives: AUC, which operates in St. Maarten, RUSM, which operates in Barbados, and RUSVM, which operates in St. Kitts. AUC’s effective tax rate reflects benefits derived from investment incentives. RUSM and RUSVM each have agreements with their respective domestic governments that exempt them from local income taxation. RUSM has an exemption in Barbados until 2039. RUSVM has an exemption in St. Kitts until 2037.

Our effective income tax rates from continuing operations were 85.3% and 37.6% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2019, respectively, and 22.1% and 20.5% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, respectively. The effective tax rates in fiscal years 2020 and 2019 reflect the U.S. federal tax rate of 21% adjusted for foreign rate differences, benefits associated with local tax incentives, changes in valuation allowances and liabilities for uncertain tax positions, and tax benefits on stock-based compensation awards. Additionally, in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, we were unable to record a tax benefit on a pre-tax unrealized loss of $28.0 million from a derivative contract related to the deal-contingent hedge agreement on the pending Adtalem Brazil sale (see Note 4 “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale” for additional information).
