Donald Trump is making major changes that will ban colleges from the Federal Student Loan Program and all federal financial aid if the programs at that college don't pass the earnings test “They are putting together a new earnings threshold test that says Bachelor degree program graduates have to earn more than the median high school graduate in your state 4 years after graduation. And when it comes to grad school programs, they have to earn more than bachelor's degree graduates for that same type of field in that state within 4 years after their graduate school program. If the school program fails this test for 2 years in a row, they will lose access to federal Fi, federal student loans. And if more than 50% of the school's programs fail this test, they lose access to all types of federal financial aid programs.” Here’s what that really means Colleges can no longer have programs that do not deliver positive financial outcomes for their graduates The goal is to stop federal taxpayer subsidies via loans and grants for programs that leave graduates financially worse off or no better than if they had skipped college This is common sense legislation and a huge win for everyone

New limits on federal student loans could dramatically reshape how the U.S. trains nurses and doctors. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, future medical students would be capped at borrowing $50,000 per year. The Trump administration is now proposing a stricter cap of $20,500 per year for students pursuing graduate degrees in nursing, public health or social work. Geoff Bennett speaks to the American Nurses Association's Jennifer Mensik Kennedy for more.

Now I’ve seen it all The Wall Street Journal is actually reporting that Donald Trump taking away loan funding for college majors that don’t financially benefit students is “a good thing” Even calling them “clown colleges” “College programs that don't leave graduates financially better off will soon be ineligible for federal student loan funding. Here's why that's a good thing.” They explain how predatory colleges have become and how by taking away the funding for these programs it’ll force schools to lower their prices and make college cheaper “When the government stops providing taxpayer-funded loans to these programs, it keeps students from making a bad investment, and it incentivizes colleges to either lower prices or reform these programs to make them better. The government shouldn't fund college programs that leave students worse off” “The point of a federal student loan program should be to help students access a quality education, not give money to literal clown colleges.” Honest reporting from the Wall Street Journal… who knew that was even possible There was a study done on colleges and colleges who had students with access to federal student loans and Pell grants had 78% higher prices than other schools that didn’t have those students So this means colleges are skyrocketing prices because federal loans will be given out to cover the costs. Translation: They are robbing Americans blind

For over a decade, voters hoped candidates would forgive student loans, but none succeeded, until the Trump administration redefined professional degrees via the Dept. of Education. Using Labor Dept. data on shortages, they capped federal loans, forcing universities to lower tuition. This boosts affordability, quality of life, and easier debt payoff, reviving community colleges for pre-programs.

"In the last 30 years, administrative staff in educational institutions has grown by 6x while students have been flat." David david friedberg reveals how government-backed student loans created the student debt crisis: "The federal student loan program would give a loan to any student going to any college, for any degree, regardless of the price." "No kid who's 18 years old is going to make a good decision about what school to go to when you can go to any school you want, with any degree, regardless of your personal GPA or income outcome when you come out of that school." "As a result, it created all these mis-incentives where institutions could spend as much as they wanted on administrative staff, build a new building, put in a new rec center, charge more for tuition, charge more for tuition, charge more for tuition—because there was no constraints." "In a private market, you would've tested how much does that education cost, is that a good school, is that a good degree, and are you a good student?" "It would've constrained how much was being loaned for education." "Instead, it was unlimited. Everything broke, and everything got so expensive, and now people can't pay their student loan debt."
