Todays announcement by Secretary DeVos to provide only partial relief to thousands of students defrauded by predatory for-profit colleges is extremely disappointing, said Congresswoman Bonamici. This action cheats students out of their chance to repair their lives after being robbed of their American dream and saddled with worthless degrees or debt by for-profit colleges like Corinthian Colleges and ITT Tech. I urge Secretary DeVos to revisit this policy and stand up for students who have been defrauded by providing them with full loan forgiveness. Congresswoman Bonamici is anoutspoken advocate for student loan borrowersand has led effortsto protect students and taxpayers from predatory for-profit colleges. She has supported the gainful employment andborrower defenserules, which are aimed at reining in predatory for-profit colleges. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
