President Trump's new executive order limits eligibility for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) program, which allows government and nonprofit workers to have their student loans forgiven after a decade of payments. The order bars organizations deemed to engage in activities perceived as 'anti-American' from the program. Critics warn this could severely impact financial relief for workers in crucial sectors such as education and healthcare. Advocates are preparing to contest the order legally, especially as the Department of Education redefines 'public service' to fit political narratives.
The PSLF Program also creates perverse incentives that can increase the cost of tuition, can load students in low-need majors with unsustainable debt, and may push students into organizations that hide under the umbrella of a non-profit designation and degrade our national interest.
Millions of government and nonprofit workers rely on PSLF for student-debt relief, but this executive order threatens their financial stability and ongoing service.
