- New student loan limits challenged by Democratic attorneys general, governors in lawsuit
A coalition of Democratic attorneys general and governors filed a lawsuit challenging federal student loan regulations that impose stricter borrowing limits on postbaccalaureate degree programs not classified as 'professional' by the Department of Education. The lawsuit argues the regulations unlawfully narrow the definition of 'professional degree,' reducing funding for state institutions and harming workforce needs in healthcare and education.
