Join us at our second @UC_SLLI research showcase this Thursday! us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi…
@Dcollier74 will present on his work on Public Service Loan Forgiveness #PSFL
Adam Goldstein will present work with @CharlieEatonPhD on Income-Driven Repayment #IDR
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.
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:
slli.org/databrief3
We've just released a 16-page legal memo arguing that the Higher Education Act gives @usdoegov the authority to cancel student debt on account of hardship.

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 usatoday.com/story/news/educ…
Here's a fact sheet about the data brief: slli.org/databrief3factsheet.
Our other data briefs can be found here: slli.org/data-briefs
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.
Our third SLLI Data Brief is on our website: slli.org/databrief3, 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.

I’m honored to co-author with @ReedShaw16 & Anna Rodriguez this compendium on ways to take a “whole of government” approach to rein in Training Repayment Agreement Provisions (TRAPs).
We’re at a @UC_SLLI convening with gov’t reps today at @UCILaw to discuss TRAPs.
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

🆕 article! @LawProfJHarris of @LoyolaLawSchool @theSBPC & @UC_SLLI makes a solid case of how TRAPs turn laborers into consumers of training programs.
He pushes for a reimagined, combined labor & consumer law framework that holistically protects workers! lpeproject.org/blog/can-cons…
