Biden administration cancels $4.5B in loans for 260K former Ashford University students.

The Biden administration has canceled $4.5 billion in student loans for over 260,000 former Ashford University students, after courts found the institution misled students about costs and career outcomes. Loans will be discharged for those who attended between March 2009 and April 2020. The Education Department also proposed barring Zovio's CEO, Andrew Clark, from leading institutions receiving federal aid. This relief comes amid ongoing efforts by the Biden administration to forgive student debt, totaling over $183.6 billion for more than 5 million borrowers.
