DeVry adopts expanded 'commitments' to students

DOWNERS GROVE - DeVry Education Group announced the adoption of an expanded set of student commitments, including specific measures to promote responsible recruitment and enrollment, successful student outcomes, and informed student choice.

The commitments build upon existing practices and take DeVry Group institutions above and beyond standard higher education policies and practices. They include previously announced commitments to lower the limit on federal funding, including Department of Veterans Affairs and military tuition assistance benefits, to 85 percent of revenue at DeVry Education Group's six Title IV institutions and to prohibit mandatory arbitration.

"DeVry Education Group is committed to finding solutions to the issues facing higher education," said Lisa Wardell, president and CEO of DeVry Education Group. "Students deserve greater transparency to make informed choices about their education. We also aim to provide all stakeholders with greater visibility into our student services, outcomes and financial stewardship. These student commitments build upon a solid foundation and bring DeVry Group to a new level of public accountability."

"These commitments are living ideals and are part of an ongoing conversation we have with our students and other key stakeholders," Wardell said. "We will review our Student Commitments annually, the goal always being to provide students the academic and institutional environment they need to succeed."
