Why This Matters
Your college debt could be erased if you were scammed:
The borrower defense rule lets students who were defrauded by colleges get automatic loan forgiveness, but for-profit education companies are fighting to make the process nearly impossible
Taxpayers shouldn't pay for corporate education fraud:
When predatory colleges like Corinthian and ITT Tech collapse after stealing from students, borrower defense prevents taxpayers from being stuck with bills for worthless degrees and fraudulent recruitment
Education Department powers are under attack:
For-profit colleges want to gut federal authority to protect students, forcing each defrauded borrower to fight individual legal battles they can't afford against corporate lawyers
Trump's rare moment of defending students:
Despite usually siding with corporate interests, Trump's team recognizes that borrower defense protects students from education scams that destroy lives and communities
Supreme Court could gut student protection:
If the Court rules against the Education Department, millions of students ripped off by predatory colleges would have no practical recourse while taxpayers fund corporate education fraud
