The data brief was primarily authored by @UC_SLLI postdoctoral scholar, Sultana Fouzia and @Econ_Marshall.

It recommends that @usdoegov cancel the debts of borrowers below median income and reduce the debts of those between median and the 90th percentile.

[StudentLoanLawInitiative @UC_SLLI]

Today, the @usedgov announced that they would be holding another round of negotiated rulemaking talks on Feb. 22 and 23 specifically to discuss the question of under what categories of hardship could the Department cancel some/all of someone's student debt https://t.co/DwRRXqShwv

[StudentLoanLawInitiative @UC_SLLI]

Last month, we released a data brief responding to the @usdoegov's request for data on what groups of student loan borrowers might experience significantly greater hardship than others. @daliejimenez presented the brief at the last negreg meeting:

Our third SLLI Data Brief is on our website: https://t.co/RD7CnxjxTc, coauthored by Sultana Fouzia, @Econ_Marshall @daliejimenez, and Jonathan Glater.

We analyze 6 measures of hardship and weigh on one of the questions @usedgov asked in the current negotiated rulemaking.

[StudentLoanLawInitiative @UC_SLLI]

@Econ_Marshall @daliejimenez @usedgov Our recommendations:
(1) cancel all student debt for students in the bottom half of the income distribution, and
(2) reduce student-debt-to-income ratios to at most 30% for borrowers between the median to 90th percentile of the income distribution.

Real solutions are needed to end this era of employer-driven debt.

Experts just released a major compendium shared with @POTUS’s administration, mapping out how to curb exploitative stay-or-pay contracts such as worker TRAPs.

outstanding stuff by @MrMikeVasquez

while schools cash in by renting their names to OPMs, recall that the OPMs' OWN DATA shows the modal outcome for students is that attendance "Did not impact my job situation at all"

while students are left in tens of 1000s of pricey debt
