Students stranded after Anthem College closes in Phoenix - Justin Price, The Republic

Students going to class Friday at Anthem College-Bryman School in Phoenix were met with closed doors. The school shut its two Arizona campuses Friday after acquisition of its parent company, Anthem Education, wasn't approved by the U.S. Department of Education, rendering the future of more than 2,000 students' educations unclear. Anthem Education recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. An Anthem student posted an image of an e-mail on Thursday, the day before the Phoenix campuses were closed. Krystal Morris, a student left stranded by the school after she said she spent tens of thousands of dollars on an education, was frustrated with the school. "I'm just dealing with the stress right now," Morris said. http://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2014/08/30/anthem-college-phoenix-closes-files-bankruptcy/14873469/
