With the Department of Justice leveling a lawsuit at EDMC and potentially other for-profit higher learning institutions it is simply not enough that the money that's been defrauded from the government be returned. Former and current students should also have moneys paid out of pocket to these institutions returned to them and the debt erased from their credit history.
This is fair as most students who have a vested interest in this case and many others were sold on promises that these institutions could not keep and only saw profit margins instead of a fellow human being seeking to better their place in life in search of the American dream.
By taking this action you remove the damage done. You return a large portion of people to good financial standing, thus helping the economy.
