So what legitimate college keeps getting sued for fraud? None that I know of. Here's the latest on Westwood College, article written by Susan Graybeal, March 15:
Colorado's attorney general, John Suthers, announced on Wednesday that a settlement has been reached with Westwood College to address allegations that the school has been misleading students by engaging in deceptive advertising and has violated the state's consumer lending laws. Here are the details.
* Under the settlement, Westwood has agreed to pay $2 million to the state in penalties, restitution, attorney fees and costs. The school will also pay $2.5 million directly to students who financed their tuition through the school's finance program.
* Westwood must also now disclose to its students an accurate number of students who find employment in their fields of study, the full cost of obtaining a degree from the school, and that the credits earned at Westwood will likely not transfer to other schools.
