Inside Higher Ed: The U.S. Department of Education will blow a key deadline next month in its bid to overhaul two Obama-era student loan rules.
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is seeking to issue a more restrictive version of a loan-forgiveness rule known as borrower defense and to entirely repeal an accountability rule for career education programs, known as gainful employment. Rolling back both regulations has been the Trump administration’s top higher education priority.
The missed deadline means the earliest date for either outcome is now July 2020 -- a year later than the department had planned.
