Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure

On October 21, 2008, DeVry Inc. issued a press release announcing the U.S. Department of Justice has informed DeVry that it has declined to intervene in a lawsuit alleging DeVry submitted false claims to the U.S. Department of Education in violation of the False Claims Act.  The decision not to intervene came after the Department of Justice concluded its previously-announced inquiry into the allegations.  The lawsuit, which was unsealed as a result of the Government’s decision not to intervene, was filed by a former DeVry employee over a year ago.  If the former employee elects to proceed with the lawsuit, DeVry intends to defend itself vigorously.

The full text of this press release is included in Exhibit 99.1 in this Form 8-K.

Forward Looking Statements

This Form 8-K and the related press release contain forward-looking statements within the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than those that are purely historical are forward-looking statements. Words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” and similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements.

Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected or implied by these forward-looking statements.  Additional information regarding factors that could cause results to differ can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

These forward-looking statements are based on information as of October 21, 2008, and the Company assumes no obligation to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied therein will not be realized.
