Trump Administration Ends Legal Challenge to Public Service Loan Forgiveness Changes
The Trump administration has dropped its legal appeals against changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) programme after federal judges ruled the proposed overhaul unlawful. The programme forgives student loans for public service workers after ten years of payments. The administration's new rule would have allowed the Education Secretary to remove employers from the programme for alleged illegal purposes, targeting groups supporting undocumented immigrants and transgender youth. Advocates hailed the decision as a victory for public service employees, while officials provided no explanation for dropping the appeals.
