Oregon asks US Dept. of Education to forgive more ITT Tech student loans Two previous settlements involved nearly 500 former students SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum filed an application Thursday with the U.S. Department of Education, asking for the cancellation of federal student loan debt for thousands of former students, including an unspecified number of Oregonians, who attended ITT Technical Institute. Rosenblum was joined in the application by a bipartisan group of 25 state attorneys general. The now defunct for-profit school defrauded thousands of students by encouraging them to enroll and take out loans based on misleading information about the value of an ITT degree and empty promises of high-paying jobs after graduation.
