There’s a big difference between misleading statistics and lies. If you boast a high placement rate because your program is sort of mediocre but you’re extremely selective in who you accept, well, caveat emptor. If you boast a high placement rate because you just made up nice-looking numbers, that’s fraud, and it should be.

I find that practice deceptive especially because they are paying well under the rate they are advertising the student should earn upon graduation.
