NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of DeVry Education Group Inc. ("DeVry" or the "Company") (NYSE: DV). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at rswilloughby@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 9980.
The investigation concerns whether DeVry and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
On January 27, 2016, the Federal Trade Commission announced that it had filed suit against the operators of DeVry University, alleging that DeVry's advertisements deceived consumers about the likelihood that students would find jobs in their fields of study and would earn more than those graduating with bachelor's degrees from other colleges or universities.
