Grand Canyon University leaders accused the Biden administration of singling out their institution for its Christian beliefs after the federal government filed a second lawsuit against the school in late December.
The Dec. 27 complaint from the Federal Trade Commission alleges the private university in Arizona, its for-profit marketing arm Grand Canyon Education, and University President Brian Mueller engaged in deceptive advertising, “abusive telemarketing practices,” and other violations.
Mueller said in a statement provided to The College Fix that the FTC and, in a separate case, the U.S. Department of Education, have unfairly targeted Grand Canyon University under the Biden administration. He said GCU has a “stellar” reputation, record enrollment numbers, and 15-year tuition freeze.
