A federal appeals court has stopped a rule from President Biden's administration that would have made it easier for borrowers to obtain student loan debt relief if they were victims of misleading information about the quality of education they would receive. The rule aimed to end the debt of students who borrowed money to attend colleges and universities that were found to have misled them on matters such as job preparation and expected salary upon graduation.
At issue is a rule broadening existing policy ending the debt of students who borrowed money to attend colleges and universities that are determined to have misled them on matters such as whether their courses would actually prepare them for employment in their field or the likely salary they would earn upon obtaining a degree.
Career Colleges and Schools of Texas, an association of for-profit higher learning institutions, filed a lawsuit against the rule in February. Among its complaints was that the rules are so broad that they cover even unintentional actions by a college. They also said the rule unconstitutionally gives an executive branch agency, the Department of Education, what amounts to the power of a court in deciding whether to grant claims for debt relief.
