Bobby Scott: “One of the problems we have now is that the definition of victim has been changed around.”

Codifying this new system without assessing its effectiveness just doesn’t make any sense.

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.

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

It’s difficult to articulate how impractical these proposals are, to say nothing of the pain and suffering they’ll inflict on students, educators and their communities, if they were to become law.
