Grand Canyon University has finally been cleared of the allegations that had been brought against it by the administration of ex-President Joe Biden.

The largest Chrstian college in the United States, according to Fox News, celebrated a recent decision from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that cleared the school of wrongdoing.

As we will see, the Biden administration had claimed that the university deceived its students about the cost of doctoral programs.

Background

Fox News provides a rundown of the case.

Per the outlet:

In 2023, the FTC under the Biden administration filed suit in federal court against GCU, its marketer Grand Canyon Education, Inc., and its president and CEO, Brian Mueller, claiming the defendants used deceptive advertising and engaged in illegal telemarketing. In addition to providing marketing services, Grand Canyon Education, Inc., provides recruiting and support services to the university.

The outlet goes on to detail the allegations brought against the school by the Biden administration.

It writes:

The Biden FTC previously complained that the Arizona-based school misled prospective doctoral students about the amount of time it would take to finish its accelerated program, deceptively marketed the school as a nonprofit, and illegally called prospective students who submitted their contact information on the school's website but requested not to be contacted.

Biden, according to Fox, even denied the school's nonprofit recognition. Many saw all of this as unjust targeting of the school by the Biden regime.

The latest

Now, it would appear that Biden's critics are right about this case. The FTC has now dropped the charges.

FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson released a statement on the matter.

He said:

This case, which we inherited from the previous administration, was filed nearly two years ago and has suffered losses in two motions to dismiss.These losses are compounded by recent events: Grand Canyon secured a victory over the Department of Education in a related matter before the Ninth Circuit; the Department of Education rescinded a massive fine levied on related grounds; and the Internal Revenue Service confirmed that Grand Canyon University is properly claiming 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation designation.

The university is celebrating the decision.

GCU President Brian Mueller said, "As we have stated from the beginning, not only were these accusations false, but the opposite is true. We go above and beyond what is required in our disclosures and are recognized as a leader in this area.”
