The Biden administration has approved a $72 million student loan forgiveness initiative to provide relief for students who were defrauded by a California-based online school.

The loan forgiveness will be applicable to more than 2,300 students who attended Ashford University, a former online for-profit school based in San Diego, the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) announced in an Aug. 30 statement.
