If you read the AG release, the complaint was that "Flatiron did not disclose clearly and conspicuously" what the 98.5% and $75k numbers consisted of.
This information was included, in detail, in each of their job reports. This is from their earliest one from December of 2014:
"Of the 225 job seeking graduates with salary information available:
a. 162 accepted full-time salaried roles,
b. Forty-one accepted paid apprenticeships (An apprenticeship is defined as a paid position of defined duration, usually 8-12 weeks, often paid hourly and on a contract basis. Often an apprenticeship is used to evaluate a candidate for full time salaried status),
c. Twelve accepted contractor positions (A contractor position is defined as full-time or voluntary part-time, paid at market rate, and without the expectation that the initial rate is temporary and will be re-evaluated in 3-6 months).
d. Ten accepted freelance opportunities."
"7. Initial compensation for the full-time salaried roles ranged as follows:
a. Salary range of $40,000-$59,999 – nine individuals,
b. Salary range of $60,000-$69,999 – forty-six individuals,
c. Salary range of $70,000-$79,999 – forty-four individuals,
d. Salary range of $80,000-$89,999 – thirty-eight individuals,
e. Salary range of $90,000+ - nineteen "
On the web pages that contained the 98.5% and 74k figures, there was a link to download the report with the detailed data. The AG did not think that was clear enough for consumers - likely because the average consumer isn't going to download and read the details.
There's a difference between saying the data wasn't clear enough and the data was fraudulent. In this case, they are not disputing the numbers, they were disputing the marketing around those numbers.
Full Disclosure: I am a Flatiron alum and I worked at Flatiron for 3 years. I have problems with the top-level management team and would not work for any of them again. None of my reasons are related to their desire and ability to create great outcomes for the students that come through Flatiron School. I would (and have) recommend the immersive programs to people who want to start careers in web development.
