Five U.S. senators are expressing their support of the Education Department’s proposal to change rules to allow faith-based schools to equally benefit from federal student loan forgiveness programs.
“Under the current regulatory regime, students and faith-based institutions face a complicated web of rules that are at best an open question and at worst unconstitutional discrimination,” Republican Sens. Roy Blunt of Missouri, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Tim Scott of South Carolina, James Lankford of Oklahoma, and Steve Daines of Montana wrote in a Jan. 10 letter (pdf) to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos.
