Pentagon bars University of Phoenix from adding new military students

WASHINGTON
The Pentagon temporarily has barred the University of Phoenix from recruiting students at U.S. military bases and will not let new active-duty troops receive tuition assistance for the for-profit giant's courses.
The move is another blow to the University of Phoenix, which said it is under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and California Attorney General Kamala Harris related to recruitment of members of the U.S. military and the California National Guard.
Apollo Education Group, the university's parent, said the Defense Department notified it of the move this week.
The university's participation in the department's tuition-assistance program has been placed on probation in part because of the FTC and California investigations, the filing said.
