AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoStudent Loans Lawsuit: A coalition of Democratic attorneys general and governors sued the U.S. Department of Education over a new rule that narrows which graduate “professional” programs qualify for higher federal loan limits—aimed at fields like nursing and physician assistant training—arguing the department rewrote Congress’s definition without authority. Federal Court Fight: The case is filed in federal court in Maryland as most of the broader student-loan overhaul is set to take effect July 1, with the lawsuit challenging the rule’s eligibility changes and the elimination of the Grad PLUS borrowing path. Rhode Island Angle: While today’s filings are national, Rhode Island’s leaders have been among the most aggressive in pushing back on federal student-loan limits, keeping the issue front-and-center for healthcare workforce planning. Other Notables: Johnson & Wales announced a major $42M renovation of its Charlotte residence hall; and Providence’s mayoral race continues to draw attention as a young democratic socialist candidate makes rent stabilization the centerpiece.
