Another for-profit college is in trouble with the government for allegedly misleading students about their chances of getting a job and increasing their income after graduation.  DeVry University was sued by the Federal Trade Commission Wednesday for ads that it said deceived students.  At issue is a statistic the college started using in ads in 2008: that 90% of grads since 1975 found jobs in their fields of study within six months of graduation.  The FTC found this to be "deceptive," and the college is now required to notify current and prospective students about the unsubstantiated claim.
