Together with @TICAS_org, we are warning state AGs & #HigherEducation authorizers of red flags to watch out for, based on hard-won wisdom from the 2007-2009 recession. And with the growth of online programs and a federal enforcement vacuum, students are at risk like never before.

Our AFT v. DeVos lawsuit aims to strike down DeVos’s illegal repeal of the #GainfulEmployment rule & protect students from programs that leave them w/ debt they can never repay. While the repeal takes effect today, our lawsuit continues. We are not relenting. @AFTunion @CFTunion https://t.co/paPL3ozF8m

BREAKING- As a result of our lawsuit w/ @nclc4consumers, @usedgov must report continued illegal wage garnishments. Over 3 months after CARES Act enacted, @betsyDeVosED reported today she is STILL seizing wages of 4200+ borrowers & owes back more than $8 mil in illegally seized $$

We could not be more proud to stand with @rweingarten of @AFTunion & Faith Gay of @SelendyGayLaw to advance the rights of students. The stakes are high for students and social justice. We are thankful that students have these two women in their corner. ✊ https://t.co/yZ4BfASTQc
