Colorado attorney general sues CollegeAmerica

The Denver Post reports that Colorado’s attorney general accuses a college with campuses in four states of misleading students it promises to prepare for careers in business, computers and health care.

In a story Wednesday, the Post reported that a lawsuit was filed late last year against CollegeAmerica seeking to remedy deceptive trade practices. CollegeAmerica has campuses in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming, including Stevens-Henager College in Idaho Falls.

“We question the AG’s intent and bias in filing this false complaint against a private college given our far-superior graduation rates and the poor outcomes of Colorado’s public community colleges,” said CollegeAmerica President Eric Juhlin in a statement denying the allegations.

KCNC-TV also has reported on the case, saying the attorney general accuses the college of enticing students with promises of lucrative careers, but instead prepares them for low-wage jobs for which they don’t need degrees.
