LightningAce11 12/14/18 6:38:53 AM #1:	The Trump administration said Thursday it will cancel thousands of borrowers federal student loans, carrying out an Obama-era policy that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos had fought to kill. The move comes as DeVos is being forced to implement a package of regulations that created more protections for student loan borrowers who were affected by a school closure or defrauded by their college. A federal judge in September ruled that DeVos' efforts to stop the 2016 borrower defense regulations from taking effect was illegal. And in October, the same judge rejected a bid by for-profit colleges to immediately stop the regulations, clearing the way for them to take effect. Education Department officials said Thursday that they will cancel the loans of about 15,000 borrowers who qualified for closed school loan discharges but who havent yet applied for that benefit. Those student loans total approximately $150 million. Department officials said they would begin notifying borrowers Friday by email that they will receive the loan discharges. Borrowers will not have to take any action, but the process could take as long as 90 days to complete. https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/13/betsy-devos-student-loans-1063442 Why must people suffer so much just for education? --- "I'm an atheist too but still believe in hell.

If we just hand people the materials without a teacher's guidance, we end up with Internet geniuses like yourself who get a portion of the facts, think they're smart, then say stupid shit without taking into account supporting research, critical thinking, etc. There's a reason schools have teachers instead of just books.

It's a good thing that these people are getting their money back because they were defrauded, but it's been common knowledge for awhile that going to a for-profit university (or a non-regionally accredited college in general) is a terrible idea. Many if not all of the people in this case could have found out with a Google search that the college they were going to had no credibility, and giving them their money was a terrible idea.

In that sense, the people getting their money back are very fortunate. They did something stupid and got out of it. When is the government going to pay back everyone who took out a payday loan?</quote> College is literally an investment, one that many are just thrown into without much thought. How many Doritos did you eat thinking you are smarter than the goddamn judges that read law for living?

It's common knowledge that non-regionally accredited and especially for-profit universities should be avoided like the plague. The article says that some of the loans were parent PLUS loans, so in those cases it was the parents who took out the loans, not the students. Even if the students were somehow unaware that for-profit universities are basically scams, the parents should have known. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:914110160] in DeVos canc...

Obviously you disagree with something I said, is it it just the fact that I made a comparison to that missionary? The people here are very lucky to get their money back even if they should be getting it back. The social Darwinism was strong with that missionary and nowhere to be found here. Both of those things are true. --- Shenmue II = best game of all time Shenmue = 2nd best game of all time <cite>Damn_Underscore posted [p:914111076] in DeVos canc...
