Civil Plaintiff
Iowa City ACT Will Pay $16M Settlement to College Student
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa City based college admissions testing company ACT Inc. is paying $16 million to students who accused it of providing disability information without their permission.
ACT signed a settlement stating it also excluded those students from a college recruitment program.
The company has denied any wrong doing in the lawsuit filed in California in 2018, and says it entered the settlement to avoid the costs of an ongoing lawsuit.
The parties engaged in mediation and agreed to the settlement after years of litigation.
