Thread regarding Ashford University layoffs

Ashford does not pass the smell test

"This does not pass the smell test," said Carrie Wofford, president of Veterans Education Success. "How could a company that’s headquartered in California hastily open a tiny office in Arizona, pull a lot of political strings, and get Arizona to recognize the tiny office as the main campus of a national university?"

"A few days later, after The Chronicle asked the VA if GI Bill funding to Ashford could be considered an "improper payment" under federal law, the agency shifted its stance. On Thursday, VA officials notified Ashford that it was in violation of GI Bill rules, and that it had 60 days to comply with the law. If that doesn’t happen, the VA says it will halt GI Bill aid for Ashford’s veteran students."

"Ashford University on Tuesday suspended enrollment of students using GI Bill benefits, according to a corporate disclosure filed on Wednesday. The for-profit institution, based in San Diego, made the decision days after the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs notified Ashford that it is not in compliance with federal standards."
