PHOENIX, Jan. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Grand Canyon University received notice this week that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has initiated yet another risk-based audit against the school, just eight months after GCU successfully refuted the agency's last audit.

Key Points: 
  • "This is unfortunately yet one more example of unelected bureaucrats weaponizing federal government agencies in a coordinated effort to target institutions to which they are ideologically opposed," said GCU President Brian Mueller.
  • "The level of unwarranted scrutiny being imposed on GCU is nothing short of harassment."
  • The VA claim was both legally and factually inaccurate, and GCU refused to sign a statement acknowledging these statements were improper.
  • "American people are losing confidence in the federal government to be fair and objective and there are clearly no checks and balances to prevent this type of selective enforcement," Mueller said.

  • Rather than applaud such efforts or work cooperatively with GCU in a matter that could easily be resolved in a 10-minute phone call, the Department has instead chosen to impose a record fine, which speaks to their agenda and motivations."
  • In Young v GCU, the courts rejected the claim that GCU's disclosures misrepresented the time or cost to complete a doctoral program.
  • All of those appeal opportunities fall within the Department of Education, first with the Department's Office of Hearings and Appeals, and then to the Department's Secretary of Education.
