Tom Harkin: “I fear that all the progress we have made in the past, under things like the Americans with Disabilities Act, IDEA…”

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

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.

Our institution's performance, measured by student withdrawal and default rates, is one of the best of any examined, and it appears that students are faring well at this degree-based college.
