The shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois after certain key Company senior executives resigned and the Company's stock plummeted almost 50%. Shareholders allege that throughout the Class Period, Career Education represented that its retention rates and employment or "placement rates" following graduation were higher than they actually were. The Complaint alleges that positive statements made by the Company were materially false and misleading when made, and were known to be false and misleading because the Company failed to disclose that the Company's purported Placement rates were achieved through an improper course of conduct and a manipulative use of the term "employment."
