Here's @SenatorHarkin @HELPCmteDems on the floor of the U.S. Senate in 2010 warning of #Westwood College. 12 years later - the harms persist with a disproportionate impact on Black & Latinx students. It's past time for @SecCardona @FSACOO @UnderSecKvaal to fix this. https://t.co/64xuCN6R8b

➡️ Westwood College scammed thousands of people like Luis. ➡️ This is why @ILAttyGeneral @KwameRaoul & @SenatorDurbin have called for @usedgov to discharge their fraudulent debt. ➡️ Our lawsuit against @SecCardona is the next (and should be the last) step to make this happen. https://t.co/hGkVfg3JIK

The failure by @usedgov @SecCardona failure to provide relief for Westwood borrowers has disproportionately burdened Black and Latinx borrowers. That is why we are proud to represent these students alongside @LawyersComm @NCLC4consumers

ICYMI Yesterday we filed suit against @usedgov @SecCardona to demand #studentloan relief for defrauded students of Westwood. ED knows who the students are and has already found that they were defrauded. So.... cc: @FSACOO @LawyersComm @NCLC4consumers ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://t.co/J8tw1FaSzO

@usedgov @SecCardona @UnderSecKvaal @FSACOO Learn more about Jaime's story with Westwood College here. cc: @FailStateMovie https://t.co/EUZKiOd6Vg

Stories like Jaime's are why @usedgov @SecCardona @UnderSecKvaal @FSACOO must finally give former Westwood College students a fresh start. It has been too long. https://t.co/7FwZBkhM2D

@SenatorDurbin @usedgov @LawyersComm @NCLC4consumers Last summer, @usedgov @SecCardona made factual findings that establish the validity of debt relief claims for certain Westwood students. But our clients & many of their classmates haven't seen the relief that is due. https://t.co/xtVU9RXFvq

More than 11 years ago @SenatorDurbin took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to highlight the scam by Westwood College. The @usedgov failure to provide relief for all former Westwood students isn't just wrong. It's an issue of justice. cc: @LawyersComm @NCLC4consumers https://t.co/ZwcsrGzQni

2011- @SenatorDurbin takes to Senate floor re: Westwood College fraud. 2012- @ILAttyGeneral sues Westwood. 2016- @ILAttyGeneral files claim for debt relief with @usedgov 2022 - Claim with ED still sitting. TODAY- We sue. It's long past time for justice for Westwood students. https://t.co/lmJwlkwoBS

This application has collected dust for years, leaving students saddled with unnecessary debt without recourse. We hope @usedgov @SecCardona @FSACOO @UnderSecKvaal will act swiftly to grant this application and provide these borrowers with a much-needed fresh start.

@usedgov's failure to act is denying thousands of students financial relief. The burden falls especially hard on students of color who were targeted by Westwood's misleading tactics and already face increased economic insecurity and heightened levels of debt.
