US EditionFTC Drops Lawsuit Against Grand Canyon University Service Provider
The Federal Trade Commission ended its four-year legal challenge after multiple courts and agencies, including the Department of Education, confirmed Grand Canyon University's nonprofit status.
- In Phoenix, the FTC dropped its lawsuit against Grand Canyon Education and Brian Mueller after all parties filed a joint dismissal, fully exonerating GCU.
- Amid mounting legal challenges, parallel courts rejected claims, and the FTC lawsuit was dismissed, following the U.S. Department of Education rescinding a $37.7 million fine and courts discrediting allegations.
- The FTC
noted that the case, filed nearly two years ago, lost two motions to dismiss and that key findings had been repeatedly discredited by multiple agencies and courts. - In response, GCU's CEO Brian Mueller said, "They threw everything they had at us for four years, and yet, despite every unjust accusation leveled against us, we have not only survived but have continued to thrive as a university," emphasizing the case's dismissal.
- Future plans at GCU will center on growth now that the U.S. Department of Education rescinded a proposed fine in March 2025 and a Ninth Circuit ruling confirmed IRS 353 status.
