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.
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.
