Your Action Needed: H.J. Res. 76
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Members of Congress are scheduled to vote as soon as tomorrow, Friday, June 26, to attempt to override President Trump's veto of H.J. Res. 76. That resolution would have rescinded the new Borrowers Defense to Repayment ("BDR") rule scheduled to go into effect on July 1, 2020.
An override would have disastrous consequences for our students, institutions and taxpayers. The new 2019 BDR includes critical due process protections for schools and students, establishes a clearer standard for borrower defenses to repayment, and provides greater transparency to both students and institutions. Furthermore, the rule corrects the wrongs of the Obama-era 2016 rule through common sense and carefully crafted reforms that hold colleges and universities accountable and treat students and taxpayers fairly. It is imperative that we fight against any vote seeking to abolish the 2019 BDR rule.
