Alicia Davis feels like she was scammed. As a student at Florida Metropolitan University from 2006 to 2008, she said she was told the cost of her online criminal justice program would be covered by Pell grants and scholarships. She was told her credits could be transferred to other schools. Graduating from the school, a subsidiary of the for-profit Corinthian Colleges, would lead to a job and a decent wage.
None of it was true, said Davis, who accrued more than $22,000 in student loans from FMU. The 36-year-old is now one of seven plaintiffs suing the U.S. Department of Education and its chief, Betsy DeVos, for allegedly failing to offer relief to more than 158,000 student-loan borrowers who claim they were defrauded by for-profit colleges.
"They pretty much sold me a lie and a dream," Davis told CBS MoneyWatch. "Turns out pretty much all of it was a lie."

Why was it a lie? Also did someone put a gun to your head? Did you sign papers? Why don't your sue the person at the school who you said lied? Why should the US Govt DeVos pay you for not doing your homework so to speak? No school that I know 9f guarantees a successful job when completed.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that future snowflakes...
ReplyDeleteSeems Democrats are trying to divide the country more when they want to pay off loans and give reparations when they know there is not enough money to pay for this getting people all stirred up when it won’t happen.
ReplyDeleteWhat did u earn a degree in? It was YOUR choice
ReplyDeletefrom my understanding the Colleges / Universities lied and defrauded the applicants / students not the Federal government, so why have they not sued the Colleges / Universities?
ReplyDeleteSo, all the gi's who were DRAFTED for four and eight years and paid only $80.00 per month are now entitled to sue the government because they were delayed in starting their careers. Sounds right to me..
ReplyDeleteObama would never do that! All the same top Democrats were in office in 07 and 08 why not sue them? They sold it you bought it.

ReplyDeleteYou are 100% correct
The government agents work for the same elites who own the media.
The scripts are written by the intelligence "agents" who work for the elites - not the population.
Hence, the secrecy. The population has no right to know anything the US government does. And the intelligence agencies (which include the media) are not a part of the US government.
The US government was taken over long ago (Nov 11, 1963?) by a criminal mafia who are extremely wealthy now because they orchestrate the economic booms and busts, stock market movements, and use derivative instruments to create financial gains. They consider themselves to be elites. Qualitatively better humans than the rest of us (goy).
Wake up and educate yourselves about this group of powerful families.
