Amid the worst campus chaos in decades, Joe Biden is announcing more student debt cancellations.
All I can say is: read the room, Biden. Your poll numbers are in the toilet, and you are doubling down on policies that piss people off. Of all the times to whinge about how students got a raw deal, this is probably not the most propitious.
The latest tranche of debt cancellation at least has a plausible, if not convincing, rationale. The students in question allegedly were defrauded by inflated claims of job placement (which also occurs regularly at colleges and universities).
The Biden administration will forgive $6.1 billion in debt held by 317,000 former students of the defunct for-profit chain the Art Institutes, marking one of the Education Department’s largest group discharges of federal student loans. https://t.co/N4RDIpEy8i
