For-Profit Settles With Massachusetts for $3.75 Million
The Salter Schools, a for-profit chain in Massachusetts, has settled with the state's attorney general, Martha Coakley, over allegations of misrepresented job-placement rates and deceptive student recruitment, according to a news release from Coakley's office. Salter agreed to pay $3.75 million, the bulk of which will be used to help roughly 600 of the schools' former students pay down loans. The company told The Boston Globe that it disputes the allegations, but did not elaborate to the newspaper.
Coakley is conducting a broad investigation of the for-profit industry. She has filed several lawsuits as part of the probe, including one against Corinthian Colleges. The Salter settlement is the second and largest of the settlements her office has secured so far.
