MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) — Nearly 650 former students of ITT Tech in Wisconsin will be getting reimbursement of their student loans thanks to a settlement.
Attorney General Josh Kaul says ITT and a loan company conspired to defraud both students and the federal student aid program before it was shut down in 2016. “They should have the confidence that the representations being made to them are accurate and that they can conduct business without being worried that they’re being deceived by the company they’re working with.”
ITT closed its doors when the federal government announced that the school was no longer eligible to receive student loans backed by the Department of Education.
ITT operated campuses in Madison and in the Milwaukee areas. Other Wisconsin students were taking courses online.
Wisconsin will be getting $5.8 million in relief for students. Any student who needs help getting those funds should contact the Department of Justice.
