Question for lawyers in the audience: If ITT is shut down because the "education" it was providing was complete shit and not recognized anywhere else, does that mean that the usual rules about education related personal debt surviving bankruptcy wouldn't apply?



There are various ways to get loan forgiveness for these loans, for reasons as you suggest, before the bankruptcy question. But pity the fool who paid off their loan and is now bankrupt.

Sadly that's becoming more and more common a trend in this country. It's the same as all the poor chaps who kept trying to pay their underwater mortgages while they're neighbors squatted for free.

Honest Joe seems to never catch a break :(
