The U.S. Department of Education has rescinded a record-setting $37.7 million fine against Grand Canyon University (GCU), closing a years-long legal battle over the school’s nonprofit status.

The Phoenix-based university, one of the nation’s largest Christian institutions of higher learning, celebrated the outcome in a statement on May 17, saying the case was dismissed with “no findings, fines, liabilities or penalties of any kind.”
