New Delay on Borrower-Defense Rule

By Andrew Kreighbaum

October 23, 2017

The Department of Education on Friday issued a new delay of the Obama administration’s borrower-defense rule that would block it from going into effect until the conclusion of a bureaucratic rewrite of the rule expected to conclude by 2019.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos announced in June that she would block the rule, which was set to go into effect July 1. She also said she would appoint a negotiated rule-making committee to produce a new regulation that would reflect the concerns of many higher ed institutions.

That announcement cited an ongoing legal challenge from an association of California for-profit colleges and a section of the Administrative Procedure Act allowing for delay of the effective date of a new federal rule pending judicial review. But the new effective date of the rule was July 1, 2018. The proposal released by the department Friday would push that date to July 1, 2019. The department cited the timeline of the negotiated rule-making process, which begins this fall, in making the additional delay.

Senator Patty Murray, the ranking Democrat on the Senate education committee, blasted the new delay Friday.

“Given the significant number of former for-profit college executives employed by the Department of Education, it’s no surprise Secretary DeVos is doubling down on her commitment to put corporations’ bottom lines ahead of students and borrowers’ best interests,” she said. “Instead of giving predatory corporations the green light to continue to take advantage of students, Secretary DeVos needs to stop these outrageous delays and start providing relief to the tens of thousands of students who have been cheated out of their education and savings.”
