A number of lawsuits have been filed against EDMC by the states, the DOJ and the shareholders. This diary is about the latest ( as of last Monday.) It's for 11 Billion plus treble damages...33 Billion. This is only the latest. There have been shareholder suits. There is at at least one other whistleblower suit (filed last year) involving 11 states, DC, and the DOJ, that I am aware of. EDMC was also successfully sued in Texas , by former students, in the last 18 months or so.
I know a former student who has actually been affected in this situation. I do not want to go into detail regarding the circumstances/location of this particular situation, in public, before receiving legal counsel.
My question to the community is, how would this individual go about seeking legal recourse if they believe they have been injured? Should this person write to Senator Harkin, file a complaint with the State Attorney General, file a complaint with the DOJ....or what?
This person is a legal naif, as am I.
Any feedback from the community would be welcome.
