From Cassie Hartman, Communications Manager, Globe University:"...the findings from the Hennepin County Court case with the Minnesota Attorney General showed no widespread systemic fraud. The Court’s final order was limited to one program – criminal justice – an only impacted Minnesota students. The program in Minnesota has not been offered for more than two years. Also, it is important to note students in Wausau had the option to continue classes under Broadview University – who is operating the teach-out...." Hartman writes that a majority of the students, 58, signed the transfer paper work and will be in the Broadview University teach out.

The recent announcement that Globe University has lost its federal Title IV student financial funding has prompted Nicolet College officials to extend an invitation to students to look here for their degrees.
Nicolet Vice-President of Student Affairs Kate Ferrel says Globe students in the Northwoods have options..
".....there's something called a Teach Out program where Globe has an agreement with a college in Utah that is accredited that will accept and finish out student degrees. There's also an option for students called the loan forgiveness option where when a circumstance like this occurs, there are some very prescribed, detailed steps a student needs to take, and measures they need to take to have some of the loans forgiven...."
Farrel says students wanting more information may contact a Nicolet College career coach to make an appointment so the best course of action can be plotted out. They have a toll free number or you can find out more information at the website nicoletcollege.edu
