Former Westwood College students get federal debt canceled

FILE - President Joe Biden speaks about student loan debt forgiveness in the Roosevelt Room of the White House, Aug. 24, 2022, in Washington. Education Secretary Miguel Cardona listens at right. The Biden administration says it will cancel any federal student loans used to attend the for-profit Westwood College from 2002 through 2015 after officials found that the school exaggerated the job prospects of graduates. The action will automatically erase $1.5 billion in federal student debt for 79,000 borrowers who attended the now-defunct college.
