ICYMI: Province auditing Calgary college, suspends student loan access citing 'poor practices' yyc
Provincial officials declined to disclose what triggered the audit, or any specific financial concerns.According to its website, ABM College offers programs in health, business and technology, as well as a CPR and first-aid training course. The college was founded in 2011 by Dr. Mohammad Baten and has campuses in Toronto and Calgary.
Former ABM employees raised questions about the college’s past practices, including that funding was provided for applicants who weren’t enrolled.In a statement, Baten said the college has “provided all requested documentation and will continue to co-operate with the Alberta government during our audit.
The employee, who eventually resigned, said they first identified concerns with the school’s student loans system when contacted by Student Aid Alberta about an individual who was denied a mortgage because of outstanding student loans from ABM. The student claimed to have never attended the college. “ weren’t in our system, they never went to ABM but had student loans to the school under their name . . . That’s when we started looking at names and we found over 100 who were approved for loans but never attended,” the employee said, estimating the loan amounts at between $5,000 and $8,000 per student.Article content
