Over the past year, we’ve heard many horrendous stories from current and former employees about the deceptive practices used by for-profit colleges to attract students. Now, one such employee is being compensated after she says she was fired from the college she worked at because she brought attention to the school’s allegedly deceitful practices.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports that a Minnesota Court of Appeals panel affirmed a jury’s 2013 award of $395,000 to a former academic head of Globe University after she was allegedly fired for going public with claims that the for-profit college was using deceptive marketing practices to increase enrollment.
