Suit alleges the school and contractor 2U knowingly used misleading ranking information to entice students to online-degree offerings
A legal advocacy group for students alleges the University of Southern California used misleading rankings to promote courses.A legal advocacy group for students is suing the University of Southern California and 2U Inc., alleging that the school and the company that runs its online graduate programs in education defrauded students by using misleading U.S. News & World Report rankings to promote the courses.
According to the suit, filed in Los Angeles County Court, USC’s Rossier School of Education used rankings that covered their in-person programs to highlight the strength of the online offerings, even though they had different selection criteria and student populations. The suit also says those rankings, even if they had been relevant to the online programs, were based on inaccurate information the school used to improperly boost the school’s score.
Hey, I want in on this lawsuit. I signed up for USC Rossier Online and got cheated!
Any schools online program is a complete joke and purely a money play.
Perennial cheats. You would think that they would learn after varsity blue scandal. At what point do we deem USC a criminal enterprise and use RICO act to bring them in line? Go Bruins!
Techtonic plates do shift. If you’re standing close enough nearby when it occurs, you can feel it. What are the signals we look to when those plates are societal instead of geological? According to twitter, they’re an endless scroll of headlines that play off online debate.
So much corruption in the U.S. from our government, universities, FBI, News media etc
USuCk?

'The company that runs its online graduate programs...' Outsourcing really hasn't paid off has it? Unless degrading the integrity of institutions is the goal.
Classic USC
Can’t ever trust the ivory towers
