Enforce consumer protection laws at for-profit schools

Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway is leading an investigation with 17 other attorneys general into possible consumer protection violations by for-profit schools. Lawsuits are likely, Conway said in an interview last week. He said default rates are one of the four clues for his investigators. The other three are student complaints, inadequate educational accreditation and deceptive marketing tactics. His office is studying the records of seven for-profit schools in Kentucky. High default rates can be a sign that a school produces unemployable graduates, Conway said. "If you see a school that promises its students 95 percent job placement but it's got a 25 percent loan default rate, then you've obviously got a problem," Conway said."
