HSTA Forced to Stop Enrolling Hawaii Teachers in Illegal For-Profit Education Scheme

Action by the Biden Administration is forcing the Hawaii State Teachers Association (HSTA) to stop enrolling teachers in a substandard ‘free’ college scheme which funneled union members into online degree programs at Ohio-based Eastern Gateway Community College and other participating schools.

According the a July 18, 2022 letter from the US Department of Education, EGCC was illegally looting Pell Grant money to provide ‘free’ tuition–as much as $175M from 75,000 students nationwide since 2015. A portion of the money was then paid out to a for-profit entity known as ‘Student Resource Center’ (SRC).
