Allegations of recruiting misconduct

On several occasions, former Sanford-Brown students have sued the institution for misleading recruiting practice. For example, twelve former students filed a lawsuit in 2007 against Sanford-Brown College and its parent company, Career Education Corporation, alleging that Sanford-Brown engaged in aggressive and misleading recruiting tactics and misled them about the transferability of Sanford-Brown's credits and the nature of its curriculum, training, and faculty. One year later, four nursing students filed a class action lawsuit alleging that the college "fraudulently induced them and the class to join a medical assistant program through a number of deceptive acts." In late 2010, this lawsuit was granted class action status. In August of 2011, the attorney general of Florida was reported as investigating Sanford-Brown and seven other for-profit colleges to "Determine whether they have violated Florida law prohibiting deceptive or unfair business practices."
