In November 2008, Zane’s parents, William and Thalia Zane, were reported to have closed down their Chicago-based Medical Careers Institute and left for Greece after collecting approximately US$30,000 in tuition fees for the upcoming semester. The school’s attorney, Arthur Evans, reported only that the school “went out of business.” The Illinois Board of Education and attorney general’s office were reported to have begun an investigation.
