A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Education relating to "Borrower Defense Institutional Accountability".
Policy Area: Education
Sponsor: Sen. Durbin, Richard J. [D-IL] (D-IL)
Latest Action (2020-03-11): Indefinitely postponed by Senate by Unanimous Consent.
This joint resolution nullifies a rule issued by the Department of Education (ED) on September 23, 2019. The rule revised the process for a student loan borrower to obtain a discharge from a student loan if an institution of higher education misrepresented a material fact. Among other requirements, the 2019 rule requires each borrower to apply to ED for a defense to repayment. However, under the previous 2016 rule, an application could be submitted on behalf of an entire group (e.g., veterans).
Subjects: Administrative law and regulatory procedures, Alternative dispute resolution, mediation, arbitration, Congressional oversight, Department of Education, Educational facilities and institutions, Government lending and loan guarantees, Higher education, Student aid and college costs
