Legal Proceedings
In 2006, an arbitration process ruled in favor of Florida Metropolitan University / Everest, and a lawsuit regarding transfer of credits dating back to 2004 was dismissed. The lawsuit was ultimately sent to arbitration and dismissed. In August 2007, an investigation of company practices was closed by the State of Florida with no fines, penalties or findings of wrongdoing. An Act of Voluntary Compliance was issued that found that FMU/Everest does participate in the Florida Statewide Course Numbering System to facilitate the transfer of eligible credits to other institutions.
Bryman College was sued in April 2005 by fourteen of its students at its Tacoma, Washington campus. They claimed they did not receive proper training for their careers in medical assistant program, that they were misled about the program’s accreditation status, their eligibility to take a national certification exam, the transferability of their credits and the availability of internships.
A class action suit has been filed against Corinthian Colleges, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Corinthian Schools, Inc. in Santa Clara Superior Court on behalf of graduates of the Medical Assistant vocational programs offered by Bryman College, which was renamed Everest College. The lawsuit alleges Bryman staff made deceptive statements to prospective and current students related to employment success, in order to induce them to enroll and stay enrolled in their medical training programs.

It was performing prettily; the puncture stayed unseen....”
