LOS ANGELES >> The operator of a for-profit college chain with campuses in Sherman Oaks, Long Beach, Pomona and Colton was sued Wednesday for allegedly lying about its students' job prospects and earning potential.
The Federal Trade Commission contends DeVry University -- which also has branches in Anaheim, San Diego, Palmdale -- deceived consumers by claiming that 90 percent of its students seeking employment were hired in their field within six months of graduation.
