Lawsuits
CREW v. Department of Education
On March 31, 2011, CREW filed a lawsuit against the Department of Education challenging its failure to produce any documents in response to two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. One request, filed in September 2010, sought records of communications pertaining to four for-profit colleges, while the second, filed in February 2010, sought all contracts between former Deputy Undersecretary Robert Shireman and Education from June 2010 to the present. Both requests are part of CREW’s ongoing effort to ascertain the extent to which outside interest groups and Wall Street investors have attempted to influence Education’s regulation of the for-profit college industry and Mr. Shireman’s full role in that process.
