Biden to forgive 6.1 billion debt for Art Institutes alumni
The Education Department will discharge 6.1 billion in loans for about 317000 former Art Institutes students who enrolled between 2004 and 2017. Eligible borrowers will receive refunds of any payments already made, with no action required on their part. President Biden frames the move as correcting fraud by the defunct chain and rebuilding borrower trust amid broader for-profit college relief efforts.
