Billions of dollars of loan debt owed by Ashford University students absolved
By CHARLENE BIELEMA cbielema@shawmedia.com
DIXON – Thousands of borrowers who sought college degrees from a forprofit, largely online university that had a Clinton, Iowa, campus no longer will have to repay their student loans as the result of action taken by the Biden-Harris Administration.
Under that action, 261,000 borrowers who attended Ashford University from March 1, 2009, through April 30, 2020, will be relieved of $4.5 billion in student loan debt, according to a news release issued Jan. 15 by the U.S. Department of Education.
“Numerous federal and state investigations have documented the deceptive recruiting tactics frequently used by Ashford University,” U.S. Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal said. “In reality, 90% of Ashford students never graduated, and the few who did were often left with large debts and low incomes. Today’s announcement will finally provide relief to many students who were harmed by Ashford’s illegal actions.”
The loan forgiveness is in response to a request from the California Department of Justice based upon evidence it obtained during a successful lawsuit brought against Ashford University LLC and its parent company, Zovio, Inc. around widespread misrepresentations in nine separate areas, including students’ ability to obtain needed licensure, transfer credits, the cost and amount of financial aid, and the time it would take to earn a degree. The U.S. Department of Education also conducted its own separate review of the evidence from California, according to the release.
Zovio, formerly known as Bridgepoint Education, established its connection to Clinton when in 2005 it purchased the former Mount St. Clare College –which had been founded by Clinton’s Sisters of St. Francis in 1918 – turned it into Ashford University and gave the largely online institution a brick-andmortar presence.
In the years that followed, Ashford, which at one point had nearly 100,000 students, came under scrutiny for its recruitment practices and former stu-
dents’ claims that they couldn’t transfer credits as promised or were unable to land a job after earning a degree from Ashford. Ashford’s Clinton campus closed in 2016. Bridgepoint later changed its name to Zovio, which dissolved in 2022, and Ashford became part of the University of Arizona Global Campus.
Also in 2022, the California Department of Justice secured a more than $20 million penalty against Zovio and Ashford, and an appeals court upheld the findings of wrongdoing and made a small reduction in the penalty in 2024.
The judge’s verdict found that Zovio and Ashford “created a high pressure culture in admissions that prioritized enrollment numbers over compliance.”
“Ashford University made false promises to students about the value of an Ashford degree and the opportunities it would create and instead left students worse off: with mounting debt and searching for a job,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said. “This is unacceptable and illegal. California stopped this fraud when we sued Ashford and held it accountable for its deception. I am proud that California’s
work taking this case to trial paved the way for the U.S. Department of Education to provide relief today for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who were deceived by Ashford.”
In addition to the California case, Ashford faced numerous lawsuits and investigations at the federal and state level, including from the Department’s Inspector General, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Attorneys General of Iowa and North Carolina. Some of these actions resulted in settlements, including one with the CFPB requiring Ashford to discharge private loans and pay an $8 million civil penalty.
In 2023, the Department announced the approval of $72 million in borrower defense to repayment discharges for more than 2,300 students who applied for relief from loans they took out to attend Ashford. The discharge announced Jan. 15 expands on that relief to cover additional borrowers.
