Students Of Bankrupt Corinthian Colleges Will Have Loans Forgiven

The U.S. Education Department said it will forgive student loan debt for tens of thousands of former Corinthian Colleges students.

Corinthian declared bankruptcy earlier this year and it’s the parent company of Everest College, which had campuses in Phoenix and Mesa.

Michael Stratford, a reporter for Inside Higher Ed who covers federal policy, he wrote about the plan.
