Black Arts: The $800 Million Family Selling Art Degrees and False Hopes

"Vince De Quattro, who directed AAU's online animation and visual-effects program from 2004 to 2011, says the school misrepresented job-placement rates. In his complaint in a 2012 wrongful-termination suit filed in San Francisco Superior Court, De Quattro said the 75% job-placement figure that AAU advertised during his tenure didn't include online students, who had more trouble finding jobs. De Quattro claimed he was fired after bringing up concerns at a meeting in March 2011. (The suit was dismissed because he couldn't prove he'd mentioned the statistics at that meeting.) AAU declined to comment."
