5,000 former ITT Tech students in Wisconsin will have their federal loans canceled after investigations into the school’s practices

Noted: One of the beneficiaries will be Travis Higgins, who was drawn to the Madison campus in 2009 because ITT staff secured a loan for him within 30 minutes of him visiting the school.

Higgins said he studied criminal justice with plans to transfer to a technical college or University of Wisconsin System campus. Then he learned his credits wouldn’t transfer. With $24,000 in debt already accumulated, he dropped out.
