""CalTech will halt its ties to Simplilearn after current courses finish, citing a class-action lawsuit alleging misrepresentation of a cybersecurity boot camp tied to the university.""
""The university will launch a faculty oversight committee to guide and inform future initiatives concerning distance education offerings, ensuring higher standards and oversight.""
CalTech has decided to terminate its relationship with e-learning company Simplilearn after receiving a class-action lawsuit alleging that both the firm and the university misrepresented a cybersecurity boot camp. CalTech’s leadership announced that all current courses will conclude in November. They also plan to create a faculty oversight committee designed to monitor future educational initiatives. This decision is viewed as a victory for students who have raised concerns about the university’s collaboration with online programs lacking proper oversight or academic rigor.
