  • Career Education Corporation to Stop Collecting on Loans, Change
    Career Education Corporation to Stop Collecting on Loans, Change Practices in Agreement with Maryland, 48 Other Attorneys General Settlement Will Bring $493.7 Million in Nationwide Debt Relief for CEC Students BALTIMORE, MD (January 3, 2019) – Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh today announced a settlement with for-profit education company Career Education Corporation (CEC) in which CEC will forgo collecting more than $8.5 million in debts owed by 2,784 Maryland students. The settlement also mandates that CEC significantly reform its recruiting and enrollment practices and make a $5 million payment to the settling states. Maryland will receive $264,285.71 of this payment, with the rest distributed to the other settling states, the National Association of Attorneys General Financial Services and Consumer Protection Fund, and the State Center. Illinois-based CEC currently operates online courses through American InterContinental University (AIU) and Colorado Technical University (CTU), and has closed or phased out many of its other schools over the past 10 years. Its brands have included Briarcliffe College, Brooks Institute, Brown College, Harrington College of Design, International Academy of Design & Technology, Le Cordon Bleu, Missouri College, and Sanford-Brown. There are no physical CEC-operated campuses currently in Maryland. The Assurance of Discontinuance (Assurance) with attorneys general in 48 states and the District of Columbia, requires CEC to forgo any and all efforts to collect amounts owed by former students who either attended a CEC institution that closed before January 1, 2019, or whose final day of attendance at AIU or CTU occurred on or before December 31, 2013.

    2009 NATIONAL RESEARCH REPORT National Student Satisfaction and Priorities Report Are college students satisfi ed with their educational experiences? Each year, the National Student Satisfaction and Priorities Report examines this subject, compiling data from hundreds of thousands of students attending four-year public campuses, four-year private institutions, two-year community colleges, and private two-year career schools. This report highlights some key areas, including how satisfaction levels differ by student demographic variables, how satisfaction varies by institutional choice, and whether today’s students— if they had to do it all over—would choose the campuses they currently attend.

  • Westwood College Borrower Defense Executive Summary
    Westwood College Borrower Defense Executive Summary Pursuant to 34 C.F.R. §685.222(e)(3), the Department of Education (“Department”) is charged with conducting a fact-finding process to determine whether each borrower defense application states a basis for a borrower defense. In adjudicating each individual borrower defense application, the Department must consider not only the borrower’s application and accompanying evidence, but also any relevant information in records in the possession of the Department and in submissions from the school, as well as any other information obtained in connection with the fact-finding process. The Borrower Defense Group (“BDG”) has completed a review of the evidence within the Department’s possession relating to Westwood College (“Westwood”) as it relates to four issues: 1) Westwood’s operational and procedural history; 2) Westwood’s aggressive recruitment practices; 3) Westwood’s misrepresentations about borrowers’ employment prospects in law enforcement in Illinois if enrolled in Westwood’s Criminal Justice program; and 4) Westwood’s misrepresentations about the transferability of Westwood’s credits. Additional summaries regarding specific types of borrower claims are forthcoming and will be submitted for approval separately. Westwood operated campuses in six states and operated an online program. In 2010, Westwood enrolled approximately 19,190 students. To date, the Department has received over 5,000 borrower defense applications relating to Westwood. Applying a preponderance of the evidence standard, BDG has prepared a series of summaries of the evidence relating to Westwood. Together, these summaries form a common statement of facts that will be applied in the individual adjudication of borrower defense applications from Westwood borrowers that are adjudicated pursuant to 34 C.F.R.
