Bridgepoint "Fraud" Named in KPBS Expose

"Nationally, Ashford University has received $110 million to educate Iraq and Afghanistan veterans in the last five years. In May, it agreed to pay $7 million to consumers in Iowa after that state’s attorney general, Tom Miller, accused the company of making false statements to prospective students to persuade them to enroll.

'As far as I’m concerned, Ashford committed fraud,' said Patrick Keane, a 20-year Navy veteran from Iowa who spent his GI Bill funds on a teaching program at the online college only to find no schools would recognize the degree.

Bridgepoint also is being investigated by California Attorney General Kamala Harris."....http://www.kpbs.org/news/2014/jun/28/gi-bill-funds-flow-profit-colleges-fail-state-aid-/
