In the latest complaint against for-profit education chains, a Phoenix man claims Huntington Learning Centers sold him a franchise without disclosing that it was “in significant operational and financial decline,” that it “evaluated” students with a fraudulent software program, and that its Arizona franchises were failing.
Christopher Tozzo and his business, Glenchrist Educational, claim in Federal Court that Huntington Learning Centers made “numerous deceptive, incomplete statements and outright misrepresentations that separately and taken together described the HLC System as a growing, financially healthy franchise system and that its franchisees were financially successful.”
