Shuttered for-profit college firm to pay $28M settlement over closures - Laura Spitalniak, Higher Ed Dive

A shuttered for-profit college corporation will pay $28 million to settle allegations it left students in the lurch following its sudden closure. A lawsuit against the Education Corporation of America and its subsidiaries claimed the coalition didn’t provide students a way to complete their education when its colleges closed. ECA’s closure also resulted in over $100 million in student loan discharges, the suit said.
