How to Identify School Misconduct: The Misconduct Matcher Tool Explained

This episode breaks down one of the most important tools for borrowers trying to understand their Borrower Defense eligibility: the Misconduct Matcher. We explain how this tool helps you identify which official misconduct category your experience aligns with — including misrepresentation, false job placement claims, high‑pressure recruiting, accreditation issues, and more. Borrowers often ask, “What category do I fall under?” or “How do I know if what happened to me counts as misconduct?” The Misconduct Matcher answers those questions in simple, trauma‑aware language that helps you understand your rights without guessing or second‑guessing yourself.
