Beauty Schools in Southland to Close
February 12, 2016
The Marinello Schools of Beauty announced last Thursday it is closing its campuses — including about a dozen Southland locations — as a result of the U.S. Department of Education’s decision to cut off access to student financial aid. The DOE said it had determined that Marinello was knowingly requesting federal aid for students based on invalid high school diplomas, under-awarding Title IV aid to students, charging students for excessive overtime and engaging in other acts of misrepresentation. “Our students depend on higher education institutions to prepare them for careers through a quality education,” Undersecretary of Education Ted Mitchell said.
