WORKED AGGRESSIVELY TO DISCHARGE LOANS AT CAREER COLLEGES

Jeremy Kim is an Attorney Advisor for Borrower Defense Group (BDG) of the Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid (FSA.)FSA helped to spearhead the egregious $6.1 billion student loan forgiveness scheme to Art Institute students. This taxpayer-funded handout, under the guise of addressing supposed misconduct by career colleges, is nothing short of rewarding reckless financial decisions at the expense of diligent, taxpaying Americans who either never went to college or responsibly paid off their debts.

“The Biden-Harris Administration today announced the approval of more than $6.1 billion in automatic student loan relief to nearly 317,000 borrowers who enrolled at any Art Institute campus on or after Jan. 1, 2004, through Oct. 16, 2017. The U.S. Department of Education(Department) found that The Art Institutes and its parent company, Education Management Corporation (EDMC), made pervasive and substantial misrepresentations to prospective students about postgraduation employment rates, salaries, and career services during that time. In October 2017, EDMC sold its remaining Art Institute campuses, and all existing Art Institute campuses closed under separate ownership in September 2023. Today's action brings the total amount of student relief approved by the Biden-Harris Administration to almost $160 billion for nearly 4.6 million borrowers.”
“This group discharge will provide relief automatically to borrowers harmed by The Art Institutes' actions, including borrowers who have not yet applied for borrower defense. The Department will begin notifying eligible borrowers today that they are approved for discharges. Borrowers do not need to take any action.”

The BDG has focused on students who went to career colleges to get fully reimbursed for their education, even if they didn’t ask for the money. A list of 155 career colleges is a key document used by the Borrower Defense Group to pay the students. As student loan bailouts keep getting shut down or delayed by the courts, the administration used Borrower defense to repayment (BDR) to perpetuate their student loan scam.

Kim’s teams’ loan forgiveness is a clear part of the Biden Administration's relentless assault on career education, punishing those who chose practical, job-focused training over traditional academia.
