(Date Range for Record Search: From 01/01/2010 To 04/03/2023)
23-01426-F
The
Higher Education Inquirer is requesting the dollar amount of student
loan funds issued to for-profit colleges each year from 1972 to 2021.
We will accept interim or partial data. (Date Range for Record Search:

student loans in the student loan portfolio that originated (1) before
1978, (2) before 1983, (3) before 1988, and (4) before 1993. This is
part of a larger effort to understand the estimated $674B in
unrecoverable student loan debt. (Date Range for Record Search: From
01/01/2023 To 03/28/2023)
23-01324-F
The
Higher Education Inquirer is requesting a count of the number of
Borrower Defense to Repayment claims against South University and the
Art Institutes, in the Consumer Engagement Management System (CEMS) up
to January 1, 2023. We would also like to know if their parent company,
Education Principle Foundation (EPF), is listed as the owner of both
schools in the CEMS computer database. (Date Range for Record Search:
From 01/01/2023 To 03/22/2023)
23-01263-F
The
Higher Education Inquirer is requesting a list of all the
variables/categories in the Consumer Engagement Management System
(CEMS). CEMS is mentioned in FOIA 22-01683F filed by the National
Student Legal Defense Network. (Date Range for Record Search: From

23-00865-F
We
are requesting an accounting of US Department of Education Borrower
Defense to Repayment (BD) claims against the University of Phoenix.
Specifically, we are asking for the (1) number of BD claims, (2) the
number processed, and (3) the number approved. The date range is from
February 20, 2016 to January 26, 2023. If there is a reasonable way to
estimate the total dollar amount in a timely manner, we would also like
that. This request is similar to FOIA request 22-03203-F, and is a
result of discovering that the University of Arkansas System has been in
negotiations to acquire University of Phoenix through a nonprofit
organization. (Date Range for Record Search: From 02/20/2016 To
01/26/2023)
