Abstract:

The Secretary proposes to amend regulations that determine what acts or omissions of an institution of higher education a borrower may assert as a defense to repayment of a loan made under the Federal Direct Loan Program and specify the consequences of such borrower defenses for borrowers, institutions, and the Secretary. Further the Secretary intends to review the use of class-action lawsuits and pre-dispute arbitration agreements for matters pertaining to borrower defense claims by schools receiving Title IV assistance under the Higher Education Act.
