The California Attorney General's office filed suit today (Oct. 10) against Corinthian Colleges, a Santa Ana-based for-profit university, accusing the company of false advertising, misrepresentations to students, and securities fraud.
Corinthian identified its core demographic with words such as "isolated," "low self-esteem," and "impatient," according to the Los Angeles Times.
In July, the AG's office asked a court to order Bridgepoint Education, a controversial for-profit university based in San Diego, to turn over hundreds of thousands of documents and records. This was also part of the state's investigation of possible fraudulent advertising at for-profit schools.
