The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Bridgepoint and certain of its offices and directors made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) the Company failed to implement adequate plans, procedures and practices to assist students in completing their academic programs; (ii) the Company failed to align resources with educational requirements; (iii) the Company’s Ashford University failed to maintain an adequate number of faculty and programs; (iv) the Company had inadequate review procedures such that shortfalls in completion rates were not timely identified and remedied; and (v) Ashford University failed to maintain an empowered and independent governing board.

On July 9, 2012, the Company disclosed that Ashford University had been denied initial accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (“WASC”). On this news, the price of Bridgepoint common stock fell $7.25, or more than 33%, to close at $14.25 per share on July 9, 2012.
