USC falsely marketed an online social-work degree program as equal to its respected on-campus offering, using it as a "cash cow" to lure in students unaware of the difference, a class-action lawsuit filed Thursday alleges.The complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleges that USC did not inform students that many components of the online master's of social work degree are outsourced to a for-profit education company, 2U Inc., and that USC splits the tuition revenue with its publicly traded partner.
