The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith believes that the Company and certain of its executives violated federal law. Specifically, the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith believes that the Company misled investors regarding its financial condition. More specifically, the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith believes that the Company misled investors by failing to tell investors that the government forcing students to pay back loans, and some of those students subsequently defaulting on past loans, would reduce the number of students qualifying for future loans, and would therefore reduce the number of students able to attend the Company’s schools.

On August 10, 2026, Lincoln Educational reported earnings for the second quarter of 2026, revealing student starts increased only approximately 1%.
