This week, SEIU and Higher Ed Not Debt launched a petition addressed to the Department of Education to ensure that Corinthian students get the refund they deserve. Corinthian College, a for-profit company which operates 107 colleges under Everest, WyoTech, and Heald brands, is closing or selling their schools after the Department of Education found the company ripped off students by manipulating job placement rates. Students took out loans to pay the high tuition charged by a school that was focused on shareholders rather than on their success.
Current and former students of Corinthian College are saddled with student loans and are the real victims of institutions that prioritize profit over education. They deserve better. Sign here to support the campaign!
