Tom Harkin: “The end result all we do affects people and affects families. You have never lost sight of that.”

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.

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.

I particularly appreciate that the students from Westwood, which closed in 2016, finally have been granted relief.
