Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 19, 2008, DeVry Inc. issued a press release announcing that earlier this month the Department of Justice, Civil Division, requested that DeVry voluntarily furnish documents and other information regarding its policies and practices with respect to recruiter compensation and performance evaluation. The request was made in order to examine allegations that DeVry may have submitted or caused the submission of false claims or false statements to the U.S. Department of Education. DeVry has informed the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, which is working with the Department of Justice, that it will cooperate fully with the inquiry and furnish the requested information and documents.
The full text of this press release is included in Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K.
Forward Looking Statements
This Form 8-K and the related press release contain forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than those that are purely historical are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements. Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
These forward-looking statements are based on information as of May 19, 2008, and the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
