Federal judge dismisses lawsuit accusing Full Sail University of student fraud

Fox 35 Orlando
A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit alleging Full Sail University and LAFS defrauded students regarding job placement rates.

Summary

A lawsuit accusing Full Sail University and the Los Angeles Film School (LAFS) of student fraud has been dismissed by a federal judge. The suit claimed the schools misrepresented job placement rates and incentivized recruiters to enroll students. While the judge acknowledged the plaintiffs plausibly alleged undisclosed fraud to the government, he ultimately dismissed the case due to a lack of specificity and conflation of actions between LAFS and Full Sail. The judge noted the schools argued their actions didn’t violate eligibility requirements rather than denying they occurred. Full Sail University President Garry Jones stated the university is “pleased that the court agreed the entire case should be thrown out” and reaffirmed their commitment to students and industry-leading education.
