</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 18pt">Strayer Education, Inc. and Strayer University have reviewed the data released by the Department of
Education on August&nbsp;13, 2010 in connection with the Department&#146;s gainful employment Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking. The data and analysis released related to Strayer University are
significantly at odds with Strayer University&#146;s own internal analysis, which we conducted in light
of the guidance issued by the Department. This discrepancy has significant operational, financial,
and public policy implications, and we would like to address it immediately. Unfortunately, there
is no opportunity for us to de-conflict the data or the conclusions without more information
regarding the data and methodology used by the Department in its calculation. Contrary to the
process the Department normally employs when releasing institution-specific data, today&#146;s data
release was conducted without any consultation with or input from Strayer University. We
respectfully request an immediate meeting or contact person so that we can proceed in our efforts
to de-conflict this data. Given the urgency of this matter we would like to resolve it over the
weekend, and will make ourselves available accordingly.</DIV>
