Thank you to @SenatorDurbin and @RepMarkTakano for taking a stand with the PROTECT Students Act, a bill that would safeguard students from predatory #4profit colleges and ensure #highered meets the needs of all students👏👏👏
From PPSL's Ashley Harrington (@ACHesquire): "Higher education should be an opportunity, not a financial trap...this legislation puts students and taxpayers first."
For-profit colleges have long scammed students into taking on mountains of debt without a viable career path and leave taxpayers holding the bag. Our students deserve to be protected from these predatory schools.
I introduced the PROTECT Students Act to stand up for our students when the Trump Administration won’t.

Kamala also understands that #4profit colleges do massive harm to communities of color, drive up #studentdebt, waste taxpayer dollars, and keep the far more deserving #communitycolleges from being the affordable and accessible places they aim and need to be.
Earlier this summer we publicized a new #borrowerdefense application for @Navient borrowers who experienced #4profit school misconduct. But applications continue to be denied for no apparent reason: “They have borrowers trapped," said @ei_conn.

No way of knowing if this rumor is true but both were AG’s who took aim at overly aggressive marketing by #4profit colleges
Word on the street is Kamala Harris is going to choose Andy Beshear for VP. That’d be a good looking, winning ticket.

It’s time to crackdown on #4profit tactics & close this loophole.
