Twelve organizations working on behalf of students, consumers, veterans, faculty and staff, researchers, civil rights advocates, and others concerned about predatory practices and unaffordable debt in higher education sent a letter urging Secretary Cardona to select a leader as Chief Operating Officer of Federal Student Aid who would demonstrate an unwavering commitment to fairness and equity for borrowers and prioritize consumer protection, transparency, and meaningful, timely, enforcement.

With #negreg happening now, I am curious has anyone recently modeled 90/10 if applied to all colleges?
How does the model and pass rate change if Pell were doubled?
Looking to my smart research and economist friends for help.
