NEW YORK, Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Harwood Feffer LLP (www.hfesq.com) is investigating potential claims against the board of directors of ITT Educational Services, Inc. ("ITT" or the "Company") (NYSE: ESI), concerning whether the board has breached its fiduciary duties to shareholders.

In July 2012, the Company revealed that new student enrollments were down nearly 10% and that net income had dropped nearly $2.00 per share for the quarter.  Additionally, the Company was criticized in a  U.S. government report due to, among other things, improper recruiting standards, misrepresentations to prospective students about education costs, and excessively high student loan default rates. 

On these developments, ITT stock fell from over $62.00 per share at the beginning of July 2012, to close under $34.00 share on August 2, 2012, a decrease of approximately 55%.  ITT shares are currently trading under $36.00.    

Current holders of ITT shares purchased at any time may have a claim against the board for breaches of fiduciary duties, gross mismanagement, and/or abuse of control.  If you own ITT shares and wish to discuss this matter with us, or have any questions concerning your rights and interests with regard to this matter, please contact:
