MIAMI NEW TIMES: For-Profit College Hired Strippers to Attract Students

Career College Central Summary:

  • A Miami based chain of for-profits colleges that is under hot water for ripping of tax payers is now the center of a stranger allegation: it used strippers to lure potential students to its school.
  • The allegations came after the U.S Attorney's Office and Florida's attorney general joined a class action lawsuit against FastTrain colleges.
  • FastTrain operated seven campuses throughout Florida until 2012 when it was raided by the FBI. The company is alleged to have falsified documents to receive more than $4.3 million in ill-gotten student loans and $2.2 million through Federal Pell grants.
