CA-AG v. Ashford University

Ashford University and Zovio allegedly made numerous substantial misrepresentations that borrowers relied upon to their detriment. Ashford recruiters allegedly told students they would be able to work as teachers, social workers, nurses, or drug and alcohol counselors but Ashford never obtained the necessary state approval and/or accreditation for students to enter these professions. Ashford recruiters also allegedly lied about the cost to attend Ashford, the amount and type of financial aid students would receive, and the amount of debt students would accumulate. Ashford recruiters allegedly misled students about how long it would take to obtain an Ashford degree and about the ability to transfer credits both into Ashford and out of Ashford, according to CA-AG.
