Critics argue DeVos is choosing schools over students, DeVos says her regulations create a fair process for victims and taxpayers.
The House of Representatives will vote on a resolution that could stop Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' borrower defense rule from going into effect and supporters of the measure said it's time for legislators to choose a side.
On Monday, the Democratic-majority House of Representatives Committee on Rules voted in favor of the House considering the resolution disapproving of DeVos' rule. Votes fell along party lines with eight Democrats voting in favor and three Republicans opposing. Students whose schools closed and didn't enroll in another institution were also eligible for automatic discharge of their loans under Obama. If DeVos' plan goes into effect, students will choose between filing a loan discharge application or accepting a teach-out opportunity to complete their program.
Relief for all students under DeVos will be determined on a tiered scale by comparing the applicant's income to those in comparable programs. It also established a statute of limitations on filing claims to three-years since enrolling in the school.In a September statement, Rep. Susie Lee of Nevada said the DeVos rule makes the process"unnecessarily difficult and burdensome" for students to receive their entitled relief.
