Federal Court Dismisses Lawsuit Against Full Sail University and Other Defendants

In a ruling issued March 12, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted the defendants' motion to dismiss after determining that the allegations in the complaint did not meet the legal standard required to move forward. The United States government previously reviewed the case and declined to join the lawsuit.

"We are pleased that the court agreed the entire case should be thrown out," said Garry Jones, President of Full Sail University. "Our focus continues to be on what matters most—our students, alumni, faculty and staff, and being an industry leading institution for preparing students for rewarding careers in media, entertainment and technology."
