A joint investigation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the NSW Fair Trading Department has found that a private college in Sydney has been recruiting illiterate and disabled students to fund courses, which the students were never told they were being enrolled into. Through his website Mr Khela has advocated for his college's "academic excellence," and emphasised maintaining high ethical standards for sales agents. The ACCC says it is investigating whether the College of Advanced Education (CAE) breached consumer law or committed unfair trade practices. The ACCC will ask the court to make the college repay the AUD$57m in government funding it has received to date.
