Mile-High Marijuana School Is Grounded for Now

A panel that governs private occupational schools for the Colorado Department of Higher Education has suspended operations at Denver’s Greenway University, a state-licensed medical-marijuana institution, because its owner did not divulge on the license application that he had been convicted of a felony. Court documents from California show that Gus Escamilla pleaded guilty 11 years ago to felony grand theft by embezzlement, according to the ABC-television affiliate 7News. Mr. Escamilla, who told 7News that he took “full responsibility” for the paperwork problem, said he thought his conviction had been expunged. The school, which plans to appeal its suspension, has been ordered to refund students’ tuition.
