Tom Harkin: “I am not sure if I agree with you that we should not be giving grants.”

I introduced the Protect Student Borrowers Act with Senators Durbin, Warren and Murphy--and I want to thank Senator Warren for her great leadership on this issue and many other issues.

We do think that the decisions about what is safe should be made by science and not by politics.

The Protect Student Borrowers Act would hold colleges and universities accountable for student loan defaults by requiring them to repay a percentage of defaulted loans.

I look forward to her speedy confirmation.
