Bobby Scott: “Our higher education system must give every student the opportunity to be on the right side of this trend.”

When they talk about returning it to the states and making America great again, they’re talking about returning to how it was before 1954.

Instead, they’re forced to deal with uncertainty and chaos created by an administration that has systematically weakened the federal student aid system.

The repeal represents the federal government walking away from that responsibility, which jeopardizes the hard-fought progress we have made.

The sweeping changes to the federal student loan system originating from that law are compounding the issues that have risen from the dismantling of the Education Department.
