A big court win for Ferguson, AGs, against Sec. DeVos
U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos acted in an "unlawful," "arbitrary and capricious" way when she delayed an Obama regulation designed to protect student loan borrowers from being ripped off by private, for-profit colleges, a judge ruled Wednesday.
In a major setback for DeVos' efforts to dismantle Obama-era higher education policies, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss ruled in favor of Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and 18 other AGs who challenged the holdup.
"These protections prevent predatory for-profit colleges from taking advantage of student loan borrowers," Ferguson said.
Thousands of Washingtonians are shouldering crippling debt as a result of these predatory practices, and these rules offer real relief from their financial struggles. This administration can't arbitrarily block rules simply because they don't like them."
Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey, a Ferguson ally in lawsuits against the Trump administration, called Moss' ruling "a victory for every family defrauded by a predatory for-profit school and a total rejection of Donald Trump and Betsy DeVos' agenda to cheat students and taxpayers.
"It's time this rule goes into effect to give thousands of students the relief they have been waiting for."
