Ellen Frishberg, a former financial aid director at Johns Hopkins University, resigned after it was discovered she had accepted thousands of dollars from several lending industry companies during her tenure, including $65,000 from a lending company that had been included on lists of suggested lenders distributed to students and their families by Frishberg’s office. Frishberg admitted taking payments from or working on advisory committees for various lenders. See related Johns Hopkins University instance, “Financial Aid Conflicts of Interest.”
