or contact Reed Kathrein, who is leading the firm’s investigation, by calling 510-725-3000 or emailing [email protected].
On December 2, 2016, Reuters reported that several current and former EDU employees disclosed that EDU “engaged in college application fraud such as writing application essays, writing teacher recommendations, and falsifying high school transcripts.” Reuters also reported that some applicants never saw their applications before EDU submitted them to universities.
Reuters further reported that EDU subsidized costs for college admissions officers to travel to, meet with, and advise prospective students at Company events.
The American International Recruitment Council (“AIRC”), which has the power to decertify the Company’s college counseling division, said it will investigate the matter. In response to this news, the price of EDU shares fell by over 14%.
“We’re focused on New Oriental’s representations to investors and possible violations of the Federal securities laws,” said Hagens Berman Partner Reed Kathrein.
Whistleblowers: Persons with non-public information regarding EDU should consider their options to help in the investigation or take advantage of the SEC Whistleblower program. Under the new SEC whistleblower program, whistleblowers who provide original information may receive rewards totaling up to 30 percent of any successful recovery made by the SEC. For more information, call Reed Kathrein at 510-725-3000 or email [email protected].
