Warren Takes on Student Loans

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) “took the Department of Education to task on Wednesday for what she called a lack of transparency and failure to protect students from dangerous student loan servicers and for-profit colleges,” the New York Times reports.

“Warren called for external checks to be placed on the department, including moving the student loan complaint system from the department to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and granting borrowers the right to take legal action against loan contractors.”
