As alleged in the class action complaint, Bridgepoint made false statements and omissions concerning the status of its accreditation application to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) starting in May 2011 and continuing until July 2012. On July 9, 2012, Bridgepoint disclosed that WASC had denied its application for accreditation, and on July 13, 2012, disclosed that it had received a letter from its current accreditor, the Higher Learning Commission (HLC), requesting that it “provide certain information and evidence of compliance with HLC accreditation standards” in light of the denial of accreditation by WASC.

As a result of these announcements, Bridgepoint’s stock price declined over 50% from $21.50 per share to $9.77 per share.
