“In some cases, borrowers are being held responsible for debt that was linked with an abusive former spouse, forced to choose between paying a debt that isn't theirs..” @FSACOO and @UnderSecKvaal must move quickly before the PSLF waiver deadline. https://t.co/tfq88hQvEc

We cannot allow people to be victimized again. Let’s act quickly to ensure some of our most deserved student borrowers are able to get relief. https://t.co/WC0CoqWINJ

As @bmckib notes, @usedgov should act quickly to help thousands of student borrowers separate their debts from ex spouses before the Oct. 31 deadline for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness waiver. https://t.co/5eYS41XcXW

Debt relief helps millions, but is not a final fix for #HigherEd & #StudentDebt. College programs that fail to prepare graduates to get jobs must not continue to receive billions of federal $$ for leaving students saddled with unmanageable debt. https://t.co/rTy9upsVGt

The Biden plan would provide life-changing relief to 40 million Americans. But, rather than play whack-a-mole by eliminating relief for some borrowers, it would be great to see the administration confidently defend their plan. https://t.co/w3J9bXEPxI

Thousands of students were defrauded after Westwood falsely certified that graduates could serve as police officers. Now 79k students will get $1.5 billion in relief. This is why we need to immediately restore the Gainful Employment Rule! https://t.co/sKGuUX1uJ0

We need front-end accountability protections like the Gainful Employment rule to ensure that college programs that fail to prepare graduates to get jobs do not continue to receive billions of federal $. https://t.co/rTy9upttw1

Last year, citing our landmark victories in the Courts of Appeal @usedgov reinterpreted the scope of borrower rights under state law & asked for public comment. This week we wrote @FSACOO & @UnderSecKvaal urging them to finalize that interpretation. https://t.co/RGTSU8MbPr

For years Westwood certified that graduates could serve as cops even though its program didn't make graduates eligible to do so. Now 79k students will get $1.5 billion in relief. This is why we need to restore front-end accountability measures. https://t.co/sKGuUX22yy
