Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ attempts to swiftly roll back major Obama-era policies at her agency are hitting a roadblock: federal courts

$150 million in student debt under those policies, which DeVos argues are too costly to taxpayers and unfair to colleges. Department officials also directed colleges to stop requiring students to sign mandatory arbitration agreements, forcing them to implementMore legal challenges are in the pipeline. A federal judge allowed a challenge to DeVos’ delay of rules governing online colleges to proceed.

Judges in the cases decided so far have said the Trump administration ran afoul of the Administrative Procedures Act, ruling that the department’s efforts to delay policies were arbitrary or lacked a reasoned basis. Every administration has wins and losses in court, Merrill said, but most have done better at making sure they follow the legal rules of the road for rulemaking.

In rejecting the Trump administration’s efforts to delay the policies, judges have largely focused on procedural problems. The federal judge striking down DeVos’ postponement of student loan regulations called her delays “unlawful,” “procedurally invalid” and “arbitrary and capricious.” The judge who rejected the delay of a special education rule faulted DeVos for failing to provide a “reasoned explanation” for stopping the policy.

Good.

DeVos is whacked. Liberal thinking gave us metal detectors and a 170 day school year. Also, the day-savers on the Left took America from 1 to 30 something in the World in education. You know Liberals are earning their salt when American's get out S.A.T.d by lower Mongolians.

Why the hate?

One of Obama's policies (bastardization of Title IX) has forced hundreds of young men to sue their universities for denial of due process in the face of criminal allegations. And the universities are losing. Please research and learn for yourself.

Get her out. Why is it in this Administration when people don't do their job or do a good job they still don't get fired? What the hell are you working for? You're worth 5 billion you can do anything you want you could have seen nearly the whole planet by now I just don't get it

You mean obama judges are? Don’t worry soon all the Trump judges will make the life miserable to all the libs.

dianerocks52 Great 👍🏻

None of Obama stuff Helped any of our students

That's he's nothing more but another incompetent appointee from the Donald donate money to the campaign you get a job even if you're not qualified look at Ben Carson

linksteroh She is a horrible person!

Betsy, you really stink to high heaven. Get out.

It seems all they want to do dismantle what ever BarackObama did

Betsy DeVos has spent much of her vast fortune funneling money away from public schools into private and charter schools, and is awarded head of the Dept. of Ed.! Her brother Eric Prince brother spends his on his own private mercenary army! They're revolting! MAGA! UGH!

Thank heavens or the courts.

What we have learned so far from the Trump Administration is that when they copy Obama or leave his programs in place, things turn out OK. When they branch out with their whacky, hair-brained schemes to change the world to improve the lives of only the wealthy, they fail. Always.

Whew! She's a nightmare for education ...

SHE IS AN ENEMY OF EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THIS COUNTRY SHE WAS PART OF TRUMPS AGENDA TO HELP KEEP MINORITIES OUT OF PRESTIGOUS SCHOOLS OF HIGHER LEARNING.

An evil rich woman.

So much winning is exhausting. Would be funny if not for the fact that taxpayers fund this shitshow.

YES!! Devos and Trump are not succeeding!!

Why in Trump’s America do the dumbest and least qualified get to make the rules

She comes from the Amway empire. Her brother is Erik Prince. 'nuff said.
