Student Defense Statement on Education Department Loan Discharges to Former Corinthian Students

The Department of Education today announced student loan discharges for borrowers defrauded by Corinthian Colleges, a now-defunct chain of for-profit colleges. In response, Student Defense Senior Counsel Libby DeBlasio Webster issued the following statement:

“We’re glad to see the Department taking steps to provide much-needed financial relief to students who were defrauded by Corinthian Colleges. This action is long overdue, but we hope it provides these borrowers with a fresh start and an opportunity to chart a path towards a brighter, more secure financial future. We also hope today’s news is a sign that other decisions are on the horizon for thousands of similarly situated students who are waiting for this kind of relief.”
