Trump Administration Ends Legal Challenge to Student Loan Forgiveness Program
The Trump administration has ended its legal appeals against changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) programme after federal judges ruled the proposed overhaul unlawful. The PSLF programme forgives student loans for public service employees after ten years of payments. The administration's rule aimed to allow the Education Secretary to exclude employers deemed to have a "substantial illegal purpose," but advocates criticized this as politically motivated. Both sides agreed to drop appeals without explanation, with advocates welcoming the decision.
