A coalition of Democratic-led states has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over a new rule limiting access to federal student loans for students pursuing advanced degrees in healthcare and other fields.
In a complaint filed Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, officials from 23 states and the District of Columbia argued that the Department of Education’s rule is both “arbitrary” and “unlawful.” Attorneys general from New York, California, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Virginia, among other states, joined the suit, along with the governors of Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
