A former Minnesota lawmaker who is running to be the state’s next attorney general will return $24,500 in campaign contributions he received from donors affiliated with a pair of troubled for-profit universities.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Republican Doug Wardlow received donations from 10 people affiliated with Globe University and Minnesota School of Business.
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled last year that the schools issued thousands of loans illegally and charged unlawfully high interest rates. In 2016, a judge found that they had defrauded students. State Attorney General Lori Swanson had earlier sued the schools for consumer fraud and illegal loans.
