The Department of Education and Secretary Betsy DeVos were hit with a lawsuit on Wednesday from the National Student Legal Defense Network (Student Defense) over the repeal of an Obama administration regulation that they say protects students at for-profit schools and career college programs.
Student Defense filed the lawsuit on behalf of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), in which they argue the repeal of the “gainful employment” rule “puts students at the mercy of for-profit schools with a documented history of leaving borrowers with worthless degrees and tens of thousands of dollars of debt they cannot repay.”
