Betsy DeVos freezes Obama-era rules meant to protect student borrowers

"The Department of Education will halt two Obama-era rules that would have protected student borrowers and held for-profit colleges accountable.
The rules were set to take effect on July 1. But instead, the department said Wednesday that it will create committees to review and improve the rules.
"It's time to take a step back and make sure these rules achieve their purpose: helping harmed students," Education Secretary DeVos said in a statement.

One of the rules in question required for-profit colleges and certificate programs at non-profit colleges to show that the education their students receive leads to "gainful employment." If they fail to meet that standard, the schools' federal aid would be withheld."
