Judge slams Betsy DeVos for rejecting 94% of student loan relief claims

The Education Department said it is studying the ruling. Spokesperson Angela Morabito said many claims were submitted by borrowers who attended ineligible programs or who failed to make a valid claim for loan forgiveness.

The dispute stems from a 2019 lawsuit brought by 160,000 borrowers who say the Education Department illegally stalled their claims for loan relief. The claims were filed through a program known as borrower defense, which forgives federal student loans for borrowers who are cheated by their colleges. It's most often used by students who attended for-profit colleges.

"We need to know what is really going on," wrote Alsup, who was appointed to the court by President Bill Clinton. He said DeVos will not be required to appear for deposition"at this time," but he suggested it may be necessary later. Alsup's decision was based on the department's latest update on its work to clear the backlog. As of August, he wrote, the agency had denied 74,000 claims linked to the lawsuit while granting 4,400, amounting to a 94% rejection rate.Rejections were delivered through standardized letters that included information on how to appeal the decision, but Alsup said the letters fail to explain the decision. It leaves borrowers in a"disturbingly Kafkaesque" situation, he wrote.

DNI said laptop is not part of Russian disinformation. Will Joe Biden deny that laptop the FBI has belongs to Hunter & emails pertaining to China & Ukraine are legitimate? If he won’t give an answer, why not?

In Dec 2019 FBI signed 2 pickup computer purported 2 B Hunter Biden’s from repair shop. Shop has Hunter’s signature 4 repair. When he never returned, after 90 days by contract, it became property of shop. News sources report they are investigating laptop for money laundering.

BETSY DEVOS IS THE 'WICKED WITCH' OF THE TRUMP 'NEO-NAZI REGIME' & THIS IS ONLY THE START!!! SHE THINKS ONLY THE VERY 'FIT-EST & THOSE WHO SHARE HER 'WHITE SUPREMACIST' VALUES DESERVE A GOOD EDUCATION !!!

Loan relief? You signed up for the loan but never believed you'd have to pay it back. It's not free money.

This woman is a disaster for our children.

BetsyDeVosED is the worst. She is such a horrible person.

If you borrow money, you pay it back! This is not a new Concept! If Biden wins, we'll all be out of work!

Amazing. 1st she puts schools in danger by making them reopen in person, (or not get funded), without even testing them for COVID-19, & now this. 🤦🏻‍♂️ is this a Banana Republic or just Banana Republicans? 😂

That's what hapoens when you are so racist you don't want brown or blacks to choose their education. Keep them down.

Lol. Poor things. 🙄

That’s what happens when you put unqualified people in high positions.

She is no better than trump. I disliked her from the beginning. Her husband runs the biggest charter school of them all. She is all about helping him make money. She has never been concerned about our Children's education. She is corrupt like the rest of them!!

Yeah duh, haven't you realized this is how the administration works . Trump says he'll do something, then his administration blocks it , trump says he did it because he said he did . It's literally the same move , every fucking time

Why the fuck did trump even pick her because she’s a billionaire get her the fuck out of the White House. As per usual thanks to Jared such a good job he does running the White House.
