New Trump administration regulations on Public Service Loan Forgiveness grant the Education Secretary unprecedented power to deny loan forgiveness based on subjective determinations of which employers serve the “public good.”
Neal McCluskey, Director of Cato’s Center for Educational Freedom, warns in a new blog post that this creates a dangerous precedent for everyone, including that future administrations could weaponize against conservative organizations, from school districts to nonprofits.
McCluskey argues PSLF should be eliminated entirely as it violates constitutional limits on federal power and fuels college price inflation.
