Navient reaches $120 million settlement for misleading student loan borrowers

Navient

Navient, once one of the country’s largest student loan servicers, has reached a $120 million settlement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — resulting in the company being permanently banned from servicing federal student loans.

In a settlement announced Thursday, the CFPB says that Navient would have to pay a $20 million penalty and provide $100 million in relief to those impacted borrowers. The bureau says it will mail checks to eligible borrowers, who do not need to take any action at this time.

The CFPB did not detail how much eligible borrowers would receive in terms of payments.

"For years, Navient’s top executives profited handsomely by exploiting students and taxpayers,” CFPB Director Rohit Chopra said in a statement.

Wife of prisoner wins $5.6m

The wife of a California prisoner will receive $5.6m after being sexually violated during a strip-search when she tried to visit her husband in prison, her attorneys said Monday.

After traveling four hours to see her husband at a correctional facility in Tehachapi, California, on 6 September 2019, Christina Cardenas was subject to a strip-search by prison officials, drug and pregnancy tests, X-ray and CT scans at a hospital, and another strip-search by a male doctor who sexually violated her, a lawsuit said.

“My motivation in pursuing this lawsuit was to ensure that others do not have to endure the same egregious offenses that I experienced,” Cardenas said.

Of the $5.6m settlement, the California corrections department will pay $3.6m and the rest will be paid by the other defendants, which include two correctional officers, a doctor and the Adventist Health Tehachapi Valley hospital.

Penn joins Harvard in banning sociopolitical speech

The University of Pennsylvania joined Harvard University in ending sociopolitical statements, introducing a new policy following the resignation of the school’s president and police removing a pro-Palestinian encampment.

The news of the decision was announced Tuesday by the school’s administrators, when they informed the campus community that the school will stop issuing statements in response to world and local events, except “those which have direct and significant bearing on University functions.”
