“I thank the gentleman for yielding. In January of this year, I stood here to speak against this administration's continued attack on our students. Five months later, Secretary DeVos, with the support of this administration, continues to work on behalf of predatory for-profit institutions rather than the students they lied to that they scammed. Instead of ensuring that students who were cheated out of their future by this these fraudulent institutions receive debt relief, Secretary DeVos is fighting to ensure that these institutions are never held accountable. Both Democratic and Republican Members alike agreed that if you were defrauded by one of these colleges, then your Federal student loan should be forgiven. We must stop this administration's relentless efforts to protect the pockets of predatory corporations at the expense of our students. I am proud to support this veto override.”
