ITT to Reimburse $434,000 In Tuitions
ITT Educational Services agreed to reimburse about 34,000 in student loans and 61,000 in partial repayments for 497 students who took the ITT Technical Institute medical assistant course in Boston between 1970 and 1974. The settlement with Massachusetts Attorney General Francis X. Bellotti’s office covers loans to be paid by ITT and federal loan reimbursements, with funds directed to those still owing. The probe, begun after Bellotti took office, found violations of consumer protection law tied to the medical program, while dental and automotive courses escaped with no related refunds announced.
