CollegeAmerica Colorado’s Rip Off of $130 Million in Student Loans To Be Cancelled By Biden Administration

The three campuses of CollegeAmerica Colorado were accused of ripping off $130 million in student loans. Fortunately, the administration of U.S. President Biden decided to cancel the loans of 7,400 borrowers.

The CollegeAmerica Colorado was accused of falsely advertising that students who enrolled at their schools would earn high salaries post-graduation despite graduates actually earning an average of $25,000 only. In addition, the CollegeAmerica Colorado was also accused of misleading students about a 70% job placement rate instead of the actual 40%.

According to Haslett, in 2021, the three campuses of the CollegeAmerica Colorado have completely ceased their operations after being sued by the state. Nonetheless, in 2022, the Center for Excellence in Higher Education (CEHE), which administered the CollegeAmerica Colorado, also filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education, accusing them of improperly targeting their schools.
