Data show that students who attend #4profit colleges are at a distinct disadvantage for employment and more likely to default on their loans. @aarthiswami details the damage these schools do to students’ lives. Read more: https://t.co/Oln5SvFANf
BREAKING: We’ve secured a court order forcing President Trump to pay $2M in damages after admitting to illegally using the Trump Foundation to help him intervene in the 2016 presidential election and further his own political interests.
No one is above the law.
ICYMI @NYTimes editorial: "The Trump administration also continues to flout its obligation to comply with existing law" - citing our lawsuit vs @BetsyDeVosEd & how @usedgov committed 16k violations of a court order by collecting on Corinthian loans. (1/3) https://t.co/OtoCWi1YlV
Holiday weekend, again time for @BetsyDeVos to publish, late in the day, a rule aiding predatory colleges /trashing protections for students & taxpayers. Today, likely, it's the borrower defense rule giving defrauded students a chance to cancel their loans. DeVos is a disgrace.
500,000 Americans will go bankrupt this year from medical bills.
They didn't go to Las Vegas and blow their money at a casino.
Their crime was that they got sick.
How barbaric is a system that says, "I'm going to destroy your family's finances because you had cancer"?
We were proud to work with @ewarren to successfully push for changes to cancel #studentdebt for 30K students defrauded by Corinthian Colleges. Now we’re fighting so ALL students defrauded by abusive #4profit colleges get relief. @mollyhc@Buzzfeed#CancelCorinthian
How can you plan for your future when you can't even get an answer on your application for debt cancellation? These students have been waiting for YEARS. @usedgov#borrowerdefense#studentloantruth#4profit https://t.co/5ra185ABRU
BREAKING: 158,000 former #4profit college students filed a lawsuit today against @usedgov & @BetsyDeVosED to force the agency to follow the law & cancel their fraudulent student loans. #studentloantruth https://t.co/OakuGnDd1j
"We have to do something so as to not look like we are sitting on our hands" is a solid one-sentence description of how accreditors perceive their obligations toward enforcement against failing schools like ITT. #negreg
The only people against this are people highly invested in student loans. This is the sensible thing to do. Why are you letting rich people make rules that hold you down and make them richer? You deserve true liberty! https://t.co/Sc6t9Przv6
How are people supposed to get ahead in life when they are drowned in school debt?? We shouldn't have to strategize through a minefield of education and student loans just to better ourselves to have a decent living or start a family. #cancelstudentdebt
Here's the TRUTH to the "He said, she said" game:
The "sector" is playing victim with no proof.
The "activists" are declaring victim with concrete evidence, judge orders, solid evidence from lots of whistle blowers that the majority of for-profit schools are scamming students.
New @nbcnews report on #4profit college abuses. Ashford U spox says there's “an orchestrated effort among certain activist groups to paint our entire sector as irresponsible.” Not entire sector, but Ashford is one that's irresponsible- rips off taxpayers & ruins students' lives.
