HN limits titles to 80 chars, so the submitter had no choice but to use a different title. The edit looks to me like it was done in good faith, i.e. was just trying to neutrally fit the limit. If someone comes up with a better (more accurate and neutral) title, we can change it again.
That would make it sound like Lambda School did it proactively. It would obscure the claims were deceptive irrespective of California law. And it would obscure Lambda School acknowledged the claims were misleading.
That would just obscure what the language was about.
The original title is "Lambda School Reaches Settlement with DFPI, Agreeing to End Deceptive Educational Financing Practices". The current HN title is "Lambda School agrees to end deceptive educational financing practices". It's the closest 80 characters can get. And Lambda School agreed in the settlement order it's what happened.
I didn't mean to imply that the change was necessarily done in bad faith. I'm just used to them matching, and as such commented on the article title without considering that they didn't match.
