Caldwell Agrees to Pay Government $4.8 Million

Caldwell University has agreed to pay more than $4.8 million to resolve complaints that it defrauded a federal education program.

“Caldwell University tried to hoodwink the Department of Veterans Affairs and, worse, veterans themselves, by claiming to offer online classes developed and provided by Caldwell that were in fact marked-up offerings by an online correspondence school,” said a statement by U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito. “Our veterans should never be treated this way, and we will continue to work to ensure that they receive all of the benefits that they deserve as a result of their service to the country.”
