Sen. Warren Demands Answers About Collapse of Education Corporation of America – Worcester.com
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren, along with House Oversight Committee Member Elijah Cummings, and Representative Suzanne Bonamici opened an investigation into the sudden collapse of the for-profit college chain Education Corporation of America (ECA).
In a letter, the group is demanding information from ECA and the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) after ECA provided no warnings to students about the collapse.
“The educational pursuits and financial well-being of countless students have been disrupted and put at risk, while massive costs have been incurred by American taxpayers,” the group wrote in their letter to ECA.
Senator Warren and her colleagues asked that ECA, ACICS, and the Department respond by January 21, 2019.
