Federal Trade Commission Takes Action Against For-profit Medical School for Using Deceptive Marketing to Lure Students

Excerpt:  “The Federal Trade Commission has taken action against a for-profit medical school in the Caribbean and its Illinois-based operators, alleging they deceptively marketed the school’s medical license exam test pass rate and residency matches to lure prospective students. … The $1.2 million judgment against Saint James School of Medicine and its operators will go toward refunds and debt cancellation for students harmed by the deceptive marketing. ‘Saint James lured students by lying about their chances of success,’ said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection.”
