Ok, what recourse would an alumni have against an University who had, let’s say creatively, manipulated their post-grad employment statistics and advertised that fact as a means to drawn higher application rates.

-90% of our grads are employed within 6 months, when they specifically don’t say where they are employed, but really they’re all McDonald’s take-out guys. (I know this one would almost certainly be kosher, but just an example)

-90% of our grads are employed within 6 months, when it means that of the responses they received, 90% were employed. How about same wording concerning average salary.

-90% of our grads are employed within 6 months and they straight make up the numbers.

*Could always do what my one friend did and get 10-15 guys to respond that they were flufflers in Van Nuys making 125K/year. Dunno how much that affected the average salary for my graduation dlass.

Here is an article from the New York Times on the subject of the inflated employment statistics reported by law schools. Aside from the graduates employed in non-legal retail positions, it also mentions the practice of some law schools of hiring the graduates for hourly temporary work so that they will be reported by US News and World Report as employed after nine months of graduation.
