Today’s ruling is a powerful win for borrowers — and a clear message that justice can’t wait.
Judge Alsup rejected @usedgov’s attempt to delay decisions by 18 months for post-class applicants, calling the additional years of uncertainty “just not right.”
PPSL’s Eileen Connor said, “This is a critical victory… but this case isn’t over.”
The fight continues. And we’ll be here until every Sweet class member receives the relief promised under the settlement.

@Navient don't think I forgot how horrible this company and CEO is! You still owe thousands of defrauded students the money they paid to attend for profit schools you were in cahoots with. Approved some school misconduct discharge applications, no refunds?
"Fewer people who are not already rich will be able to go to college."
PPSL's Eileen Connor spoke with the @BostonGlobe about the newly restricted access to federal student loans — pushing people of color and low-income students toward predatory private debt or away from #highereducation altogether.

Lovisha J. Williams used federal student aid, including her father's GI Bill benefits, to attend ITT Tech, lured by deceptive promises of a quality education and career opportunities. She was left with mountains of debt and a worthless degree.
Driven by a fierce determination to empower others and inspired by her own experiences, Lovisha has joined PPSL's Community Action Council: "I’m standing up for the hundreds of thousands of students who have been harmed by these schools.”

“I had always dreamed of becoming a licensed counselor to help others navigate life’s challenges especially veterans, but that dream came to a halt,” said Dr. Rita Jones. She graduated from Grand Canyon University, unaware they did not provide the necessary licensure requirements to actually practice within the federal government.
Now a member of PPSL’s Community Action Council, Dr. Jones said it was a “hard lesson I wish I didn’t have to learn, but I now advocate for students.”
Thank you to Dr. Jones for calling out fraud in #highered and fighting for others 👏 Read more about the CAC: https://t.co/CH7jPPIug1
The Trump administration’s plan to shift $1.6 trillion in student loans could include a sale to a private buyer. If that’s the case, any potential purchaser has some serious due diligence to undertake, writes Eileen Connor, of @EdDebtJustice, in @AmerBanker@BankThink.https://t.co/M0VV7MWE0x
🚨Ninth Circuit Win for #StudentBorrowers
The court just denied Everglades College, Inc's latest bid to undo the Sweet v. McMahon settlement, leaving in place the decision that the intervenors have no standing. This upholds the $6B settlement for over 500,000 borrowers, with nearly half already having received full relief.
As Eileen Connor reminds us, “The law is on their side."👏👏
