College Says Student Recruiters Are Bogus

JERSEY CITY (CN) - Aspen University says in Hudson County Court that it paid $63,000 to a recruiter, Halyard Education Partners and Elearner.com, under a contract in which the college agreed to pay the defendants for each "qualified lead" - i.e., each student who might want to attend Aspen.
