Broadview University Borrower Defense
What You Need to Know

Thousands of former Broadview University students are now asking the same question: Can I get my federal loans forgiven because of my school’s misconduct?

The answer may be yes—through the Borrower Defense to Repayment (BDR) program. This powerful legal remedy allows federal student loans to be discharged if the school misled, defrauded, or deceived students.

Allegations & Investigations Against Broadview University

Broadview University (formerly part of Globe University/Minnesota School of Business) has faced serious allegations of misconduct, including:

• Misleading Marketing Practices – Reports allege Broadview exaggerated job placement rates and misrepresented program value to attract students.
• Encouraging Unsustainable Debt – Former students report they were pushed into high interest loans and unnecessary debt.
• Industry Watchdog Reports – The U.S. Department of Education flagged Broadview in investigations tied to predatory for-profit schools.

While Broadview University is not explicitly listed in the $6 billion Sweet v. Cardona borrower defense settlement (which included schools like DeVry, ITT Tech, and University of Phoenix), the same kinds of misconduct—false advertising, inflated job outcomes, and aggressive recruitment—form the legal backbone for BDR claims.
