Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 17. Commitments and Contingencies Adtalem is subject to lawsuits, administrative proceedings, regulatory reviews, and investigations associated with financial assistance programs and other matters arising in the conduct of its business and certain of these matters are discussed below. Descriptions of certain matters from prior SEC filings may not be carried forward in this report to the extent we believe such matters no longer are required to be disclosed or there has not been, to our knowledge, significant activity relating to them. As of September 30, 2025, we adequately reserved for matters that management has determined a loss is probable and that loss can be reasonably estimated. For those matters for which we have not recorded an accrual, their possible impact on Adtalem’s business, financial condition, or results of operations, cannot be predicted at this time. The continued defense, resolution, or settlement of any of the following matters could require us to expend significant resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, and result in the imposition of significant restrictions on us and our ability to operate. As previously disclosed, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) by and between Adtalem and Cogswell, dated as of December 4, 2017, as amended, Adtalem sold DeVry University to Cogswell and Adtalem agreed to indemnify DeVry University for certain losses up to $340.0 million (the “Liability Cap”). Adtalem has previously disclosed DeVry University related matters that have consumed a portion of the Liability Cap. In late January 2024 and early February 2024, ED sent notices to Chamberlain, RUSM, RUSVM, and Walden that it had received Borrower Defense to Repayment (“BDR”) applications filed by students between June 23, 2022 and November 15, 2022, which ED subsequently sent to each institution for awareness and optional response. Without a similar notice, in June 2025, AUC also received BDR claims that had been filed during the same 2022 timeframe. Each application seeks forgiveness of federal student loans made to these students. In the notices received, ED indicated that: (1) the notification was occurring prior to any substantive review of the application as well as its adjudication; (2) it would send the applications to each institution in batches of 500 per week; (3) it is optional for institutions to respond to the applications; and (4) not responding will result in no negative inference by ED. ED has also explained that it will separately decide whether to seek recoupment on any approved claim and that any recoupment actions ED chooses to initiate will have their own notification and response processes, which include an opportunity to provide additional evidence by the applicable institution. ED has indicated that an institution will learn of ED’s determination to forgive student loans only if it approves a BDR application and ED seeks recoupment. As of September 10, 2025, AUC, Chamberlain, RUSM, RUSVM, and Walden respectively have received 336, 3,144, 1,745, 1,905, and 7,804 BDR claims. Each institution has responded to all applications received; they believe that none properly stated an eligible claim for loan forgiveness. To date, none of Adtalem’s institutions have received an ED notice of BDR application approvals or recoupment intent.
