Tom Harkin: “You mentioned that the budget provides for $14 million to identify and combat misclassification.”

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.

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

I look forward to her speedy confirmation.

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.
