Protect Students and Taxpayers is a coalition of organizations working on behalf of students, veterans, faculty
and staff, civil rights advocates, researchers and others concerned about unaffordable student debts and
predatory practices. The coalition strongly supports accountability provisions that offer college students
commonsense consumer protections. We oppose the delay, dismantling or weakening of policies that could
prevent taxpayer dollars being wasted, and we demand accountability for college programs that overcharge and
underdeliver. Through research, advocacy and litigation, we seek to improve transparency, oversight and
accountability in higher education and to address the disproportionate impact that predatory practices by
colleges have on students of color, low-income students and veterans.

@FSAconf Hey my #negreg friends. Annmarie is reviewing our hard work. Miss you! But nice to see the impact of our diligent effort.

It's a honeycrisp kind of day. #NegReg
OUT TODAY: More new regulations from @usedgov. A statement from @KellyMcManusEdu here: https://www.arnoldventures.org/newsroom/statement-from-kelly-mcmanus-on-the-finalized-regulations-for-targeted-debt-relief-programs-from-the-u-s-department-of-education. Full regs here: https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022-23447.pdf. #negreg 1/
What a long, strange trip #negreg has been for a year and a half, but these new regs from @usedgov show a real commitment to students & borrowers, and they'll have a real, positive effect on the field of #highered.
We’re grateful to @usedgov, negotiators, advocacy partners, Members of Congress, and many others for their work to bring together a student- and borrower-centered set of new regulations—including the new Borrower Defense to Repayment rule: http://bit.ly/3DNSZg0🧵
Abby Shafroth & @AlphaLawyer_ @NCLC4consumers join @YuPersis @theSBPC, @ei_conn @EdDebtJustice, & Bonnie Latreille @usedgov to discuss key federal student loan policy developments and the impact on borrowers and practitioners at #CRLC2022. #ProtectConsumers #DefendStudents
